Lead inspection and risk assessment by Massachusetts-licensed inspectors — for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
Tell us about your property and what you need.
01 — Why it matters
A certified inspection gives you a clear answer — not a guess — about where lead paint is, whether it’s a hazard, and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
Most homes and buildings in Springfield were built before 1978 — the year lead-based residential paint was banned nationwide. If your property falls into that window, it may contain lead-based paint, and that matters more than most people realize.
Lead paint that’s intact and undisturbed usually isn’t an emergency. But deteriorating paint, renovation work, or friction surfaces like windows and doors can release lead dust that’s dangerous to breathe or ingest — especially for children and pregnant women.
Beyond the health risk, lead testing is often a legal requirement, not just a good idea: Massachusetts law requires pre-1978 rental homes to be made lead-safe when a child under six lives there, and federal rules require contractors to either test for lead paint or treat it as present before renovating older buildings.
02 — Clients
A.
Massachusetts law requires rental units built before 1978 to be lead-safe when a child under six lives there. We help you get certified, stay compliant, and avoid penalties.
B.
Buying or selling an older home? A lead inspection gives you clear answers before you’re locked into a deal — and disclosure is often required by law.
C.
Federal RRP rules require lead-safe work practices when disturbing painted surfaces in pre-1978 buildings — unless testing shows no lead paint is present. We help you stay compliant and avoid project delays.
