Lead Hazard Evaluation

Lead hazard evaluation involves assessing a property, especially older homes, for the presence of lead-based paint and contamination from lead dust or soil. This evaluation typically includes visual inspections, collecting paint samples, and conducting dust wipe tests to determine lead levels. Understanding the risks of lead exposure, particularly for young children, is crucial, as lead can cause serious health issues. The goal of this evaluation is to identify any hazards so that appropriate measures can be taken to mitigate exposure, ensuring a safer living environment.
