Older housing in Phoenix
Central historic districts such as Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft are mostly homes from the 1920s through the 1940s, when lead-based paint was common. Much of the city’s post-war housing is old enough to have it too.
Phoenix is also a big rental market. Landlords with pre-1978 units must disclose any lead-based paint they know about, and an inspection is how they find out.
What we test in Phoenix
Lead-based paint inspections for houses, condos and apartment buildings, limited lead testing before a remodel, dust wipe clearance, and soil sampling for yards and play areas.
Lead Based Paint Inspections
A surface-by-surface investigation to determine the presence of lead-based paint, and a report explaining the results.
Limited Lead Testing
Testing narrowed down to the sections of a home that the homeowner or contractor specifies.
Soil Sampling
Soil sampling for lead contamination in the soil surrounding a house.
Dust Wipe Clearance
Dust wipe sampling to find out whether the dust in your home contains lead.
Phoenix questions
Do I need an inspection to rent out a Phoenix house built before 1978?
Federal law requires you to disclose lead-based paint you know about and give tenants the EPA pamphlet. It doesn’t require an inspection, but an inspection is how you know what to disclose.
Can you test a historic home without damaging original trim?
Yes. XRF reads through the paint without cutting or scraping, so original woodwork stays as it is.
