Lead & Heavy Metals Analysis

Identify Lead and Heavy Metal Contamination Through Professional Testing

Lead and other heavy metals can be present in paint, dust, soil, water, building materials, and various environmental media. These contaminants may be found in older properties, industrial sites, renovation projects, and areas affected by environmental pollution.

Our Reviews

Lead & Heavy Metal Testing and Analysis

We perform lead and heavy metals testing including: lead paint analysis and XRF screening and analysis, dust and surface wipe sampling, soil testing, water testing, and laboratory analysis. We test painted surfaces, construction materials, dust, soil, water supplies, and other environmental media for lead and heavy metal contamination. We use portable XRF technology and proper sampling techniques to test for potential contamination in residential, commercial, industrial and development properties.

We send all collected samples to a certified lab where they will be tested using standard methods. The lab’s results, sample location, and any important site environmental data will be reported.

Why Lead & Heavy Metals Testing Matters

Lead and heavy metals are often not visible and may remain undetected without professional testing. Environmental assessments can help identify contamination concerns, support property transactions, assist with renovation planning, and provide information needed for remediation or regulatory compliance.

Our testing services can help:

  • Identify lead and heavy metal contamination
  • Support renovation and redevelopment projects
  • Evaluate environmental conditions
  • Assist with property transactions
  • Document contamination concerns
  • Provide laboratory-confirmed results

Frequently Asked Questions

Which types of materials can be tested for lead and heavy metals?
Lead and heavy metals can be tested in various materials including paint, dust, soil, water, building materials, surface residue, and other environmentally-related media depending on the nature and extent of the investigation.
Testing for lead is generally suggested prior to the renovation or demolition of buildings, during a property transaction, in situations of environmental contamination or concern, and upon evaluation of older properties for suspected lead-based paint.

XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) testing is a non-destructive method of screening painted surfaces and materials for the presence of lead and other heavy metals, without compromising the structural integrity of the material being tested.

Samples submitted for analysis by the accredited laboratory are returned in an illustrated report which details locations, methodologies used for each test, results from the laboratory analysis, and pertinent field observations.
