XRF lead-based paint inspections, lead risk assessments and lead-in-water testing by EPA- or state-certified professionals. On SBA loans, child-occupied facilities built before 1978, such as daycares, need the risk assessment and the water testing.
Scope and deliverables
Know exactly what’s included.
Pre-1978 buildings may contain lead-based paint. HUD-assisted housing and pre-renovation work can require certified inspections or risk assessments, and SBA loans on child-occupied facilities built before 1978 require a lead risk assessment plus lead-in-drinking-water testing on every new loan. We coordinate certified inspectors and risk assessors nationwide.
XRF testing of painted surfaces; dust wipe and soil sampling for risk assessments
Lead-in-drinking-water sampling at all taps and fountains for child-occupied facilities
