Lead Testing

Prior to learning about its hazards, lead used to be common building material in homes and buildings. In fact, the Minnesota Department of Health says you should “assume that any home built before 1978 contains some lead.” From renovations to additions, we provide non-destructive, onsite analysis for the element lead in residential and commercial environments.

Why XRF Lead Testing

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) lead testing is faster, more accurate and generally less expensive than swab testing, with results emailed within one business day.

For Contractors

Starting a new project or just finishing up? Either way, we’ll come to your site and perform a lead test in your construction area. Just send us your Renovation Project Plan and our lead risk assessor will contact you to schedule a testing. Don’t forget to include XRF on your client bid. “Federal law requires contractors that disturb painted surfaces in homes, child care facilities and schools, built before 1978 to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.” See more info about lead testing for contractors.
