A lead based paint inspection is designed to answer two questions:
"Is there lead-based paint (LBP) present in the housing unit?" and
"Where is the lead-based paint?"
Surveying a housing unit for lead-based paint is typically performed
using an X-Ray Fluorescence analyzer, called an XRF.
Paint or other coatings with lead levels above established thresholds
are considered lead-based. A lead paint inspection is most appropriate for property owners who need
to know where lead-based paint is located, such as in the following situations: – People considering renovation, remodeling or demolition work that would disturb
painted surfaces and may generate lead dust hazards unless proper precautions are followed. – Home sellers desiring specific information about lead for marketing purposes. – Home buyers or renters who want to know how much lead paint is present and its
location (or who feel strongly that they want a home that contains no lead-based paint). – Rental property owners seeking exemption from the federal lead disclosure
requirements by demonstrating that a specific property does not contain
lead-based paint. – Rental property owners who might need or desire documentation about lead-based
paint for insurance, financing, or other reasons. – Those facing a state or local requirement to abate all lead-based paint.  Spy Inspection Services provides a full range of home inspection services associated with
