What is Lead Testing & Why Is It Important

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, lead is a highly toxic metal that can cause serious health problems if ingested or inhaled. Lead poisoning is especially harmful to children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Long-term exposure to lead can cause neurological damage, learning disabilities, and other health problems.

Lead Exposure

There is no safe level of lead exposure, which is why the EPA recommends that all homes built before 1978 be tested for lead. Lead testing is a simple and affordable process that can be performed by a certified home inspector.

Mitigate the Risk

If lead is found in your home, there are a number of ways to mitigate the risk of exposure. These include removing or sealing lead-based paint, removing lead-based plumbing fixtures, and providing tenants with information about the dangers of lead exposure and how to minimize their risk.

Lead testing is an important part of protecting your family’s health, and it is well worth the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is safe.

★★★★★ 5/5

Brendan and Chris were very professional and thorough with our house inspection. Not only did they provide us with knowledgeable insights but we received a full report with pictures and descriptions less than 24 hours later so we could go back and review what was discussed. Most importantly my fiancé and I left the inspection feeling good about buying our first home because we truly trusted the evaluation provided by both Brendan and Chris. Inspecticore is a great company and would highly recommend in the future!!!

Hugh was fantastic. He talked to me like I was human and didn’t talk over my head. He was courteous and professional and would recommend him in an instant to anyone who needs an inspection. Thank you so much for you time and knowledge today.

This is our second time using Inspecticore in the past few months and we have nothing but great things to say about them! They were early/on time to appointments, conducted a very thorough inspection, and were available for questions any time. Richie was our inspector this time. He was very knowledgeable and had our report the same day with pictures of every part of the home. I would absolutely recommend using this company for home inspections.
