A licensed inspector uses visual and XRF (X-ray fluorescence) equipment to detect and document all lead-based paint in buildings constructed before 1978. This service determines exactly where lead paint exists—crucial before renovations, sales, or tenant occupancy

Following renovation, abatement, or disturbance of painted surfaces, inspectors collect dust wipe samples from interior surfaces and soil samples from exterior areas. These are analyzed to confirm lead levels meet Maine DEP clearance standards, ensuring safety before re-entry

A final walkthrough that includes visual checks and clearance testing verifies that lead remediation work has been completed properly. The inspector confirms the site is clean, safe, and compliant with state regulations before issuing a DEP-approved clearance report .
