About Lead
Lead is a toxic metal that has been used in and around our homes up until 1978. Lead is frequently found in and around a home in a number of other areas. The following are common areas:
- Interior and exterior paint
- The soil in and around a home
- Household (residential) dust
- Drinking water
- Painted toys
- Painted furniture
- Pottery, dishware, and glasses
What is Lead-Based Paint?
Lead-based paint is not a health hazard when in good condition but the improper removal of lead-based paint can increase the risk of lead poisoning.
In 1978, the federal government prohibited lead-based paint from homes, and several states had even earlier prohibited its use. However, several homes and pre-1978 buildings still have lead paint. If you reside in an old building or work in it, you should have the lead tested. Federal Law requirements for real estate sales include:
- A leaflet approved by the EPA on how to identify and control paint hazards based on lead.
- Before selling a house, REALTORS shall reveal details of lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards.
- Before leasing takes effect, SELLER shall reveal documented details about lead-based paint and plumbing paint risks. Leases must contain a form for disclosure of lead paint including a “Lead Warning Statement” that confirms that the SELLER has complied with all notification requirements.
Buyers have up to 10 days in which to check for lead hazards.
Our Lead-Based Paint Testing Services in Florida
At Super Green Air Control, we utilize the use of an XRF gun to test for lead-based paint. This process is preferred as it is both non-invasive and provides instant results.
- Lead-Based Paint Inspection. Inspections of lead-based paint are feasible using many different tools and techniques, each of which has unique benefits for the customer. Handheld XRF testing tools remove the need for laboratory analysis, provide direct on-site read results and prevent possible leaded dust production due to destructive sampling. Paint chip analysis gives OSHA appropriate conclusive results and allows confirmation of non-lead dependent XRF paint readings. Wipe testing for possible lead dust is available. Usually, this is expected on HUD inspections of pre-1960 buildings.
- Lead Clearance Inspection. A lead clearance inspection (as specified by the EPA) must be performed by a qualified risk assessor or a qualified lead-based paint inspector on all projects requiring abatement.
