Professional Lead Paint Testing & Assessment Services

Lead-based paint remains a serious health concern in many homes, schools, and commercial buildings constructed before 1978. Ibex Environmental & Abatement provides professional lead paint testing and assessments to help property owners identify potential hazards, comply with regulations, and protect occupants from exposure.

Our experienced team delivers accurate testing, detailed reporting, and practical recommendations to help you make informed decisions about your property.

Why Lead Paint Testing Matters

Lead-based paint was commonly used in residential and commercial construction for decades before its health risks became widely recognized. As painted surfaces age, deteriorate, or become disturbed during renovations, lead dust and paint chips can create dangerous exposure risks.

Children, pregnant women, and individuals with prolonged exposure are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead contamination. Professional lead paint testing identifies potential hazards before renovation projects begin and helps property owners comply with applicable regulations.

At Ibex Environmental & Abatement, we provide thorough lead paint assessments designed to protect families, employees, tenants, and building occupants.

OUR TESTING PROCESS

1. Property Consultation

We discuss the property’s age, renovation plans, occupancy concerns, and any potential lead-related issues.

2. Visual Assessment

Our inspectors evaluate painted surfaces, identify deteriorating areas, and determine potential risk locations.

3. Lead Paint Testing

Samples or specialized testing methods are used to identify the presence of lead-based paint within the structure.

4. Laboratory Analysis

When required, collected samples are submitted to accredited laboratories for detailed analysis.

5. Detailed Reporting

You’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining testing results, affected areas, and recommended actions.

6. Remediation Recommendations

If lead hazards are identified, we provide guidance regarding removal, encapsulation, containment, or other corrective measures.
