Lead poisoning is a serious health concern that can have lifelong consequences. While lead exposure can occur in many ways, one of the most common hazards stemming from the latter 20th-century decisions comes from lead-based paint. When this paint begins to chip and deteriorate, it can release lead dust into the air, which can be inhaled or ingested. Lead poisoning can cause a range of health problems, from fetal developmental delays to organ damage. You should seek lead paint testing if your building is older and err on the side of caution.
Lead poisoning poses a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of your valued workers, so we’re ready to test for their sake.
If there is some presence of lead, you’ll want a professional to advise on whether levels pose risks and to what extent. Our lead testing services can help.
Health regulations are essential, as is compliance with them. We’re here to detect the presence of lead in your building and help deal with it.
Lead testing is something we take seriously. Some key indicators that require testing include signs and symptoms of building-related sickness, dust coming from painted surfaces, chipping or flaking of painted surfaces, or even the building’s age. Lead material in paint, water lines, and toys were common in older buildings. If your renovations or maintenance projects have recently disturbed older paint, a lead paint test can identify if your building could be at risk.
Muscular pain and weakness, fatigue, irritability, stomach and abdominal pain, and weight loss are all common symptoms of lead poisoning. It can lead to cancer, kidney failure, and neurological issues as well.
Since lead-based paints and veneer coatings were common in older buildings, people assume contemporary buildings don’t have them. However, buildings constructed up to and beyond 2010 can potentially contain lead-based paints.
The manufacturing and recycling of batteries pose a health hazard for workers involved. Even discarded batteries pose a similar threat.
Hiring a certified lead inspector to test your building for lead goes a long way in thorough detection; professionals can use standard test kits and even use an X-ray machine to scan the walls of your building for lead-based paint. You can count on our experience in detecting the lead presence and reducing its concentration as much as possible and culminating in successful lead removal.
When it comes to professional lead testing, reduction and lead abatement, our project management is what makes all the difference. We’ll provide a detailed report on lead sources and a plan of action that you can count on.

Yes, lead testing, including a lead water test and lead paint testing, is necessary, especially for pregnant workers. Lead poisoning is a serious health hazard that can cause a variety of health problems, including brain damage, learning disabilities, and behavioural problems in various age groups. A fetus in-utero is particularly at risk for lead poisoning because it absorbs everything from its mother’s body well before she takes maternity leave. Sustained lead exposure can cause miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight. Pregnant workers need to be in workspaces that have been tested for lead presence and take steps to reduce their exposure to lead if they test positive.
