Lead hazard assessments

Lead hazard assessments are evaluations conducted to identify the presence of lead-based hazards in homes or buildings, particularly those built before 1978 when lead paint was commonly used. Trained professionals inspect the property for lead paint, dust, and soil contamination. They may also collect samples for lab analysis. The goal is to determine if lead poses a risk to occupants, especially young children who are most vulnerable to lead poisoning. Based on the assessment findings, recommendations for remediation or mitigation can be provided to ensure a safe living environment.
