XRF Lead Paint Inspections
HarborLight Property Inspections provides professional XRF Lead Paint Inspections throughout Southern Maine for homebuyers, property owners, investors, contractors, schools, child care facilities, and commercial property owners.
Using state-of-the-art X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, we can quickly and accurately determine whether painted building components contain lead-based paint without damaging the surfaces being tested.
Our inspections are performed by a Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Certified Lead Inspector and follow applicable federal and state lead inspection protocols.
Most inspections are completed within 2–4 hours onsite, with a comprehensive written report delivered within 48 hours.
