Why is a Lead-Safe Certification Important?

​Exposure to lead, especially through lead dust or peeling paint in older homes, poses a severe health risk, particularly to children. Local laws require landlords and property owners to hold a valid Lead-Safe Certificate to ensure the safety of their tenants and comply with rental regulations. Our service is designed to help investors and property owners meet these legal requirements quickly, affordably, and hassle-free. We provide a thorough visual inspection to confirm paint is intact, along with dust wipe sampling that is sent directly to an EPA-approved laboratory.

​Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​Q: How long does it take to receive the certification?

A: After we collect the dust samples and send them to the lab, standard turnaround time is typically between 2 to 7 business days. Once the results are returned and approved, we will provide your Lead-Safe Certificate, the official lab report, and instructions on how to file it with the city. If you need it sooner, expedited service is available for an additional fee.

​Q: What happens if my property fails the inspection?

A: If any issues are found during the visual inspection (such as chipping or peeling paint), or if the dust samples return with elevated lead levels, you will need to complete all necessary repairs before certification can be granted. Please note that re-testing the property after a failed inspection requires a new visit, and the standard inspection rate applies.
