Mid-century homes and lead paint
Many mid-century houses have been remodeled, but original trim, doors and window frames can still carry lead-based paint under newer coats.
XRF measures every layer at once, so it finds lead paint even when it’s buried under later paint.
What we test in Scottsdale
Lead-based paint inspections for sales, limited lead testing before remodeling, and dust wipe clearance.
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.
Scottsdale questions
My Scottsdale home was remodeled. Can it still have lead paint?
Yes, if it was built before 1978. New paint over lead-based paint doesn’t remove it, and XRF reads through all the layers.
Will testing damage original mid-century details?
No. XRF testing doesn’t cut or scrape the surface.
