Is your home Lead Free and safe from any hidden lead related health concerns?
In 1978 the Federal Government restricted the use of lead based paint due to numerous health threats posed by this product. Lead does not exist in every home built before 1978, but the older the house the higher the probability is for the presence of lead based paint.
The long-term concern with lead are the health issues attributed to the exposure. The financial concerns are the cost associated with properly removing and terminating of the materials. Both concerns are real and are the basis for further pursuit in gaining the facts when testing your home for the potential of lead based paint.
Multiple samples and test will be needed to perform when multiple surfaces are in concern. Four inch samples of paint should be taken from every painted surface that you desire to test. It is wise to test both the interior as well as the exterior painted surfaces for lead. I strongly suggest that this test be done by a certified lead assessor. This is an additional service that we can coordinate on your behalf to be performed by a qualified technician. Our desire is serve you the best we can while minimizing your concerns with all the facts that you need to make a wise investment when purchasing your home.
