What is a Lead Paint Inspection?

A Lead Paint Inspection is typically done for older homes—especially those built before 1978—to check for the presence of lead-based paint. Lead paint can pose serious health risks, especially to young children and pregnant women, so identifying and addressing it is essential for safety and compliance.

Lead Paint Inspections are often requested during real estate transactions, particularly when buyers are concerned about potential hazards. However, proactive homeowners may also order a lead inspection to ensure their home is safe and to avoid any surprises during the sale process.

Why Get a Lead Paint Inspection?

A lead inspection involves a certified inspector using specialized tools to detect lead-based paint on surfaces inside and outside the home. This inspection helps determine whether lead is present and if any mitigation or removal is necessary.

Benefits of a Lead Paint Inspection:

  • Identifies hidden health hazards in the home
  • Provides peace of mind for current or future occupants
  • Helps meet local and federal disclosure requirements during a sale
  • Prevents delays or complications during real estate transactions
  • Increases buyer confidence and builds trust
