Helping clients stay compliant, reduce liability, and protect families from lead exposure.


Lead exposure often comes from dust hidden inside pre-1978 walls, released during drilling, renovation, or repair work, not just peeling paint.
In many cases, the last contractor or property owner to disturb a surface can be held responsible, even if exposure occurs later or elsewhere.
Lead tastes sweet, making it particularly dangerous for children. Proper testing and certification are critical to preventing long-term health risks.
