What is a Lead Risk Assessment?

• The lead risk assessor starts by visually inspecting the property.
• Areas prone to lead hazards include windowsills, doorframes, and any areas with peeling or chipped paint.
• Also checks for any bare soil present

• Lead dust is often found in homes with deteriorating lead paint. The assessor collects dust samples from surfaces like windowsills, floors, and other areas that may be contaminated.
• These samples are analyzed in a lab to determine lead levels.

• After completing the inspection and testing, the assessor prepares a comprehensive report.
• This report will detail any lead hazards and outline recommendations for remediation (e.g., removal or encapsulation of lead paint, dust cleanup, soil remediation).

If the Risk Assessor finds areas of deteriorating chipping and peeling paint on the exterior or interior and deems it not ready to be tested, then we will let you know what needs to be done in order to come back and do the initial assessment

If the lab results come back with a fail(s), then a HUD Cycle clean must be performed and then a Clearance Exam is required to pass the property.
