Lead Testing
Lead-Paint Clearance Examination
Any home built before 1978 is reasonably presumed to contain lead-based paint. Residential rental units built before 1978 must have a Lead Safe Certification from the City of Cleveland’s Department of Building and Housing. If you're an investor, property manager, or landlord, this could apply to you!
How does the process work?
One of our Licensed Lead Clearance Technicians will walk you through the process. It's a two-step process that first requires a visual inspection. During this step, we are looking for no visible chipped/peeling/deteriorated paint on exterior or interior, no visible dust, and no bare soil.
If it passes this, the next step is sample collection and lab submission. For this step, dust wipes are taken at the floors, window troughs, and windowsills. A minimum of 4 rooms are tested with 12 dust wipes. Once both steps have been passed, you will receive your Lead-Safe Certification.
