Overview
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Highview offers laboratory lead paint screening using paint-chip and dust-wipe samples from selected areas to help identify potential lead hazards. This service can be helpful when buying an older home, planning renovations, or evaluating areas of concern. Samples are submitted to a laboratory for analysis, and the laboratory report is provided to the client.
Why Lead Paint Screening is Important
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead exposure can be particularly concerning for young children and pregnant women, and renovation projects can disturb painted surfaces and create lead-containing dust.
Targeted laboratory screening can help identify lead in selected painted surfaces or settled dust before purchasing, renovating, or occupying an older home.
