Lead Paint Testing NY

Lead paint testing ny is required by the EPA under federal regulations concerning any company or individual that disturbs lead paint in any form of renovation work. This can mean building owners, painting contractors, landlords, property agents and private homeowners. Lead paint testing in NY must be done to prevent avoidable exposure to lead paint and Envirotest have the technologically advanced XRF X-ray Florescence detection equipment. Its non destructive lead paint testing can be done in minutes and yield results in less than 20 minutes. There are no holes in the wall, no need to chip paint for sampling and so no danger of exposing old lead paint where it can do harm.

Hopefully a lead paint testing visit by Envirotest is all that you need. If our lead paint testing shows the presence of lead paint then guidelines must be followed. You can learn more at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm . During lead paint renovation, dust levels must be checked, workers must be protected and all lead paint waste disposed of in an approved manner. We hope that our lead paint testing ny will make such steps unnecessary but an early test can let you plan ahead and get the work done well without the threat of penalty and litigation.
