Lead-Based Paint Inspection
A lead based paint inspection is a surface by surface investigation that determines the presence of lead based paint. In some cases sampling for lead in dust and/or soil may be conducted. Results are clearly explained to the client in a report format.
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is an on-site investigation of a structure for the presence of lead hazards. Risk assessments include investigating the age, history, maintenance and management of the structure. Environmental sampling such as dust wipes, soil samples and deteriorated paint chips can be collected. Results indicating acceptable abatement and interim controls will be provided in a report format.
Clearance Inspections
A clearance inspection is an environmental evaluation, conducted according to the U.S Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) guidelines, to determine if lead hazard work performed was completed successfully and if the area is safe for unprotected workers to enter and safe for children and residents to live.
