Hi! My name is Brent Yocum and I am a certified inspector in the state of Pennsylvania."What is a certified inspector?" you may ask. A certified inspector meets all the requirements the state of PA has outlined for home inspectors. Some of these are maintaining specified limits for E&O (errors and omissions) and liability insurance, being a member of a nationally recognized Home Inspection association, a written report, participation in 100 or more inspections,etc. To learn more, contact the Attorney Generals office (under the state listing in the red or blue section of your Yellow Pages) and request a copy of Act 114. Or see me at the Better Business Bureau (www.mybbb.org). I can offer you a wide variety of one-stop Home Inspection, real estate (and non-real estate) inspections and Home Environmental testing, including water, asbestos, lead, mold, etc. I will give YOU personalized service and the utmost attention. After all, YOU are my client, and thats how it should be!\n\n Brent

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air.
