Which one do you need?
If you rent out a property built before 1978 and need a certificate for your tenants and the City, a dust-wipe test is usually the fastest, most affordable route. That’s our specialty.
A lead-free certificate means the property has no lead-based paint at all. Proving that takes a full lead paint inspection, typically with an XRF analyzer. It costs more up front, but in Philadelphia and Norristown a lead-free certificate never expires, so you don’t have to re-test every few years.
A risk assessment makes sense when a child has an elevated blood lead level, before renovation, or when you want a plan to permanently fix lead hazards.
Why we refer this work
We focus on doing one thing well: dust-wipe testing for lead-safe certificates. For full inspections and risk assessments we send clients to Viva Environmental, Health & Safety, a Philadelphia firm we trust and work with often.
