Signs Your Property is Putting Your Compliance at Risk
Most property owners don’t notice lead-based paint hazards until they result in a failed inspection or a legal order, and by then, the costs can be significantly higher to remediate. Lead risks often develop slowly, with subtle changes in paint condition that are easily overlooked. Recognizing these early warning signs—like hairline cracking (alligatoring), chalking residues, or friction dust on window sills—can help you take action before a minor maintenance issue becomes a major liability.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lead Clearance Examination?
It is a professional evaluation to ensure a property is "lead-safe." It involves a thorough visual inspection to confirm no deteriorated paint is present, followed by dust-wipe samples analyzed by an accredited laboratory to ensure lead dust levels are below EPA and Ohio Department of Health limits.
Does "Lead-Safe" mean the same thing as "Lead-Free"?
No. Lead-Free means there is no lead-based paint anywhere on the property. Lead-Safe means that while lead-based paint may exist, it is intact, well-maintained, and not currently creating a dust or chip hazard. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain Lead-Safe status.
How long does the process take?
The on-site inspection typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the property. Once samples are collected, they are sent to a certified lab. You can generally expect your official Clearance Report within 3–5 business days.
What happens if my property fails the visual inspection?
If we identify "deteriorated paint" (peeling, chipping, or cracking), we cannot proceed with dust sampling. We will provide you with a summary of the problem areas so you can stabilize the paint and reschedule. This saves you the cost of lab fees for samples that would likely fail.
Why do I need a Paint Condition Assessment?
This is often the first step for property owners to identify potential hazards before they become legal liabilities. It’s a proactive way to ensure your maintenance plan is working and to stay ahead of local lead-safe ordinances.
