Test for lead based paint

The best test for lead based paint in Long Island and throughout the New York region is X-ray fluorescence.  You need to test for lead based paint to comply with new EPA lead paint laws when doing any renovation or repair where lead based paint could be disturbed. The beauty of the X-ray fluorescence technology is that the test itself does not disturb the paint. It can go below the surface and give reliable results. You cannot rely on lead test kits that only test the surface. Faced with a fine in excess of $30,000 for non compliance, it does not make sense to go with any test for lead based paint that is not the best.

Envirotest’s lead based paint testing experts are EPA certified and test for lead based paint from Long Island to Albany NY. We help our clients keep within the regulations with follow up paperwork and advice beyond just testing for lead. We even recommend a further follow up test for lead based paint once work has begun to be 100% certain that no contaminated dust is present. After any remedial work is complete, Envirotest completes the cycle with a cleaning verification or dust clearance testing. Call us to know for sure if lead based paint is present at your home or jobsite.
