THIS is a Lead-Safe Certified Firm by the US EPA¹, and our Inspectors are NJ DCA² Certified Lead Evaluation Contractors

 

It is now required by law that a Certified Lead Dust Sampling Technician evaluate rental properties to ensure that proper lead dust cleaning procedures have been followed and to certify that the residence is lead-safe. Our inspectors are certified to perform visual and dust wipe testing for any home owner, buyer or seller. This is especially important after renovating or remodeling homes built before 1978. Renovation activities that disturb lead-based paint can create dangerous lead paint dust. The purpose of lead dust clearance testing is to determine if the area is safe for re-occupancy.

Lead is particularly dangerous to children because their growing bodies absorb more lead than adults do, and their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead. Babies and young children can also be more highly exposed to lead because they often put their hands and other objects into their mouths that can have lead or lead dust on them.
