We provide lead paint inspections, solution recommendations, lead abatement services, clearance testing & compliance, and lead abatement monitoring services.

Testing for and removing lead paint is part of owning an older home or commercial building. Lead was used in paint prior to 1978 as pigment or additive to make it more durable. Lead-based paint is most often seen on high impact surfaces such as door cases, window troughs, floors, and high moisture areas including kitchens, bathrooms, and the exterior surfaces of buildings and homes. Lead paint contamination and exposure affects both small children and adults and can cause serious health concerns.

Lead Paint Inspections

Cromwell Environmental has conducted thousands of Lead-Based Paint (also called LBP or Lead Paint) inspections and risk assessments. Our licensed and insured employees use the latest X-Ray Florescence (XRF) devices to quickly identify lead paint hazards in buildings, documenting the condition and potential health hazards associated with lead-based paint contamination and providing our clients with comprehensive reports. Cromwell Environmental is an expert at handling major HUD-based lead inspection contracts and foreclosed properties as well as individual homes for concerned homeowners.

Lead Paint Clearance Testing

Estimates indicate that nearly 25% of exposure to lead paint is due to improper techniques during clean-up efforts. To properly test for lead exposure after abatement or stabilization, or as part of a Section (8) housing inspection, lead levels are analyzed from dust in and around the work area. This lead-based paint clearance testing determines if applicable lead clearance standards have been reached or if additional work is necessary.

Lead Paint Project Monitoring

Cromwell Environmental offers certified lead paint risk assessors and industrial hygienists for lead abatement projects. Our professionals monitor the lead abatement contractor’s activities to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations. Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and air samples are taken periodically to ensure that engineering controls and health and safety precautions are met.
