Home / Inspection Information
Lead dust is the most dangerous problem with lead paint, and the hardest hazard to detect. Testing can be done at any time.
Dust Clearances assess the amount of lead dust in a home or building. A Licensed Lead Inspector takes wipes on many surfaces throughout the property. Floors, window sills and window wells must be tested, and other surfaces can be tested on request.
The lead dust standards are very small because even a tiny amount of lead dust can be harmful.
For a floor, the amount of lead dust considered unsafe is 25,000 times smaller than a packet of sugar.
You may simply want to know how much lead is in your home. It’s an inexpensive way to help protect your family’s health.
After renovation work that disturbed lead paint, dust can remain for years if it isn’t cleaned properly. A Dust Clearance is the best way to confirm the cleaning worked. If it passes, the work was done properly and there’s no need for concern.
Contractors may also order Dust Clearances at the end of a job to better protect against liability, fines and future litigation. On large jobs the expense is minimal compared to the overall cost of the work, and to the cost of litigation.
A typical Dust Clearance takes about 20 minutes, with results usually ready within 24 hours.
