Lead-Based Paint Inspection
Room-by-room testing via XRF or paint-chip sampling to locate lead-based paint and plan compliance. Pass your inspection and qualify for Cleveland’s 20-Year Lead-Safe Exemption.
What’s Included
XRF or Lab Chip Analysis
Every painted surface tested room-by-room using portable XRF technology or lab-analyzed paint chips. Complete component mapping tells you exactly where lead-based paint exists.
Clear Location Report
Detailed report identifying every surface tested, results by component, and a clear summary of which areas contain lead-based paint and which are clear.
Compliance Planning
Results formatted to support your next steps—whether that’s abatement planning, renovation scoping, daycare licensing, or pursuing the 20-Year Exemption.
