What Does a Lead Inspector Do

A lead inspector examines homes or buildings for the presence of lead paint or other material with a lead base. In this career, you may work in residential homes, public facilities, or commercial buildings. Most facilities that serve children, such as schools, need to have their buildings checked for lead content.

How do I prepare for a lead inspection?

Prior to the inspection gently clean window wells and sills with a suggested cleaner. (wiping one way, not back and forth) Bare floors should be cleaned using a new mop head, cleaner and clean water for each room. Vacuum carpets (using HEPA vacuum is recommended) in one direction, then vacuum again in cross direction.

What does a lead-based paint inspection consist of?

California lead paint testing and inspection services include XRF inspections, paint chip sampling, and lead wipe sampling, risk assessments, in-place management, remediation design, remediation monitoring, clearance sampling, waste disposal consultation and waste stream analysis.
