Lead is a term that we tend to use when we refer to olden times. However, to a good number of structures in New York City, particularly the ones constructed prior to 1978, lead-based paint constitutes a current and very real threat. Lead paint testing is a process that you should never ever skip no matter whether you are a homeowner or landlord, contractor or buyer. Why? This is because behind that shiny pristine coating of paint may be a poison that will cause serious harm to your health and that of the family or your tenants.

What Is XRF Lead Testing and Why Does It Matter in NY? Lead is a term that we tend to use when we refer to olden times. However, to a good number of structures in New York City, particularly the ones constructed prior to 1978, lead-based paint constitutes a current and very real threat. Lead paint testing is a process that you should never ever skip no matter whether you are a homeowner or landlord, contractor or buyer. Why? This is because behind that shiny pristine coating of paint may be a poison that will cause serious harm to your health and that of the family or your tenants. And in comes the real solution that is our testing of the existence of lead paint in NY homes, schools, apartments, and business premises in the form of XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) lead testing, which is non-destructive, fast, and precise compared to the traditional methods of Lead paint testing. Licensed inspectors are also able to scan through walls, woodwork, even though many layers of paint, using non-destructive XRF (X-ray fluorescence) technology, and still see lead instantly. Living in a place such as New York where space is scarce and laws are imposing, it is not only a good idea to verify that your property is lead-free, but also mandatory. Kids who are exposed to lead are also in danger of permanent developmental problems.
Even adults may also experience neurological disorders, reproductive disorders etc. There are stakes that are too high to ignore. You should not undertake the lead paint testing yourself because you are about to do some renovations, purchase an older house or have a rental unit. Not every testing is written equal though.
