Lead hazard inspection

Lead hazard inspection is a thorough assessment of a home to identify sources of lead contamination, especially in paint, dust, soil, or water. Its purpose is to determine if lead levels are high enough to pose health risks, primarily to children and pregnant women. Inspections involve visual checks for chipping or peeling paint, sampling for lead in dust and paint, and testing soil or water. Results help prioritize repairs or safety measures to reduce lead exposure, ensuring the home is safe and compliant with health regulations.
