What is Lead Clearance Testing?
Lead Clearance Testing is a vital step conducted after any lead removal or abatement work has been completed. This process helps determine whether the area has been effectively cleaned and is now safe for occupancy—especially critical in properties built before 1978, when lead-based paint was commonly used. The test includes a thorough visual assessment followed by dust wipe sampling in high-risk areas like floors, windowsills, and window troughs.
Why Lead Clearance Testing Matters
Lead dust can be invisible but extremely dangerous. Improperly removed lead paint or poorly conducted renovations can leave behind hazardous particles that linger on surfaces. Without a professional clearance test, property owners risk the health of residents, employees, and visitors.
