Lead Testing
The Lingering Effects of Lead.
In buildings constructed before 1978, lead-based paint remains surprisingly common. If you own an older home or property, it can be crucial to contact an inspection professional to ensure your safety. Depending on your location, AmeriSpec inspectors can perform lead paint tests, checking for lead presence in paint itself and any lead contaminants that might have spread as dust to surrounding property areas. Our lead-based paint inspectors receive their own tailored training in this specialty area and are extremely thorough, inspecting your property’s interior, exterior, soil, pipes and paint.
If you are concerned about asbestos in your home, give us a call at (850) 481-5777 to get a free estimate. We’ll visit your establishment, perform air and water tests, and take physical samples for further testing. Afterward, we’ll provide a listing of asbestos removal companies to help remove it.
