Why Lead Testing Is Essential
Prevalence in Older Homes: Roughly 1.2 million homes in Washington still contain lead-based paint, particularly pre-1978 construction.
Health Risks: Lead exposure can cause serious developmental and neurological issues in children under six, as well as fertility and pregnancy complications in adults.
Renovation Risks: Renovations can release hazardous dust if not handled with lead-safe practices.
Testing Methods We Use
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence): Fast, reliable, and non-destructive. Provides immediate results without damaging surfaces.
Paint Chip Sampling: Lab-based confirmation for specific areas when needed.
Dust & Soil Testing: Identifies secondary sources of contamination beyond paint.
DIY swab kits may provide quick results but are often inaccurate. For legally defensible, reliable results, professional testing is essential.
Beyond Testing: Risk Assessment & Mitigation
Not all inspectors can provide risk assessments. Under Washington State law, only certified Lead Risk Assessors can:
Evaluate lead hazards in detail
Provide remediation recommendations
Develop strategies to reduce exposure
Our dual role as inspectors and risk assessors means you receive both accurate testing and expert guidance on next steps.
