Expert Inspections to Protect Your Property and Loved Ones from Lead Hazards
About 37 million housing units in the U.S. have lead-based paint, with 23 million having significant hazards.
An estimated 3.6 million of these homes are occupied by families with young children, who are most at risk of lead poisoning.
An estimated 95% of housing units in Philadelphia might contain lead-based paint because they were built before 1978.
Is Your Home Safe?
Millions of homes still contain lead-based paint, often hidden beneath newer layers. While the paint remains intact, its presence generally poses no issue. However, when lead-based paint deteriorates—manifesting as peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, or showing signs of damage or moisture—it becomes a serious hazard requiring immediate attention.

Landlords and Homeowners: How do you know if you need a lead inspection?
Understanding when a lead inspection is necessary can protect both your property and the health of your occupants, especially young children. Whether you're a landlord complying with local laws or a homeowner ensuring a safe environment, knowing the risks and regulations is essential.
Landlords
As of October 1st, 2020, the City of Philadelphia implemented the Rental Property and Lead Certification Law. This law mandates that landlords in Philadelphia and Norristown, PA, must test and certify their rental properties as lead-safe or lead-free if they were built before 1978. Certification is necessary to obtain new or renewed rental licenses and to execute new or renewed leases.
Homeowners
When buying a home, federal law allows purchasers to conduct testing for lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. This is crucial, especially if you have or plan to have young children. If your child is diagnosed with lead poisoning, the most common home-based source of lead exposure is deteriorating lead-based paint and the resulting dust.
