Lead, Asbestos & Water Testing

Introduction

If you're buying, renovating, or moving into an older home, lab testing can confirm what's actually there. I collect samples on-site and send them to an independent, certified lab, so you get clear, objective results.

Lead Testing

Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. I can collect paint samples from suspect areas and send them to a certified lab for analysis, so you know whether lead is present and can plan accordingly before you buy or renovate.

Asbestos Testing

Asbestos was widely used in older homes in materials like pipe wrapping, insulation, and flooring, and you can't identify it by sight alone. If I find a material that may contain asbestos, I can collect a sample and send it to a certified lab, so you get a definitive answer before the material is disturbed by repairs or renovations.

Water Testing

The quality of your water matters, particularly in homes with older plumbing. I can collect a water sample and send it to a certified lab for analysis, so you have objective results about what's in the water your family drinks and uses every day.
