In Newark, where many homes and apartments date back to the early 20th century, the risk of lead paint exposure is significant. Our testing process involves a thorough inspection of painted surfaces, including walls, ceilings, windowsills, doors, and trim. We use two primary methods: a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, which detects lead content without damaging the paint, and laboratory analysis of paint chip samples for precise results. The XRF device provides immediate readings, while chip samples are sent to a certified lab for confirmation when needed. We focus on areas most prone to deterioration, such as friction surfaces (windows and doors) and impact surfaces (baseboards and staircases), where lead dust can accumulate. This matters for Newark properties because lead exposure is especially dangerous for young children and pregnant women, and many older homes in neighborhoods like the Ironbound or Central Ward still contain lead paint beneath layers of newer coatings. Testing is the first step to ensuring safety before any renovation or removal work begins. Without accurate testing, you risk disturbing lead paint during repairs or remodeling, which can release toxic dust into the air. Our approach follows Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule, ensuring that results are reliable and actionable. We also test for lead in soil around the property, as exterior paint can contaminate the ground near foundations. For Newark residents, this testing provides peace of mind whether you are planning a renovation, buying an older home, or addressing potential hazards in rental units. The process typically takes one to two hours for a standard home, and we provide a detailed report with locations of any lead detected, along with recommendations for remediation if needed. Unlike generic inspection services, our focus is specifically on lead hazards, meaning we understand the unique risks posed by Newark's aging housing stock. ## Areas We Cover in Newark We provide lead paint testing across Newark, including neighborhoods such as East Ferry, Hutton Park, Teachers Village, and University Heights.
