Our Lead Based Paint Inspection Process
-
We begin by reviewing the property, building age and planned renovation activities to determine the appropriate inspection approach.
-
EnviroQuest Consulting inspects applicable painted building components, including doors, windows, walls, trim, and other surfaces. Depending on the project, testing may involve an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer or paint chip sampling.
-
When necessary, representative paint chip samples are collected and submitted to a qualified laboratory for lead analysis.
-
When a risk assessment is included in the project, we evaluate potential lead hazards, which may include deteriorated paint, lead-contaminated dust, and other applicable exposure pathways.
-
We provide a written report documenting inspection findings, testing results, identified lead-based paint, and applicable recommendations.

Our Lead Clearance Process
-
The contractor completes the lead-related work and performs the required final cleaning. The area must be ready for clearance evaluation.
-
We evaluate the work area for visible dust, debris, deteriorated paint, and other conditions that may interfere with clearance.
-
Any additional cleaning comments are communicated for correction before clearance sampling.
-
We collect dust wipe samples from designated surfaces, such as floors and windowsills, following the applicable sampling protocol and project requirements.
-
Samples are submitted to an accredited laboratory to determine lead dust concentrations. Results are evaluated against the applicable clearance standards.
-
We provide documentation of the visual inspection, sampling locations, laboratory findings, and whether applicable clearance criteria have been achieved.
