Testing Your Home for Lead in Paint, Dust and Soil
Add Lead Sampling to a Home Inspection (Save $50)
The EPA tells us that, “Lead is poisonous because it interferes with some of the body’s basic functions. A human body cannot tell the difference between lead and calcium, which is a mineral that strengthens bones. Like calcium, lead remains in the bloodstream for a few weeks. Then it is absorbed into the bones, where it can collect for a lifetime. Lead can affect anyone, but children ages 6 and younger fact special hazards since the bodies of this age group are developing rapidly.”
Lead paint can be found on painted surfaces in many homes built before 1978, when lead paint was banned. EPA & HUD developed the Real Estate Disclosure Rule which requires that the owner of any home built before 1978 inform potential buyers and renters about known lead-based paint hazards in the home.

Testing your Home for Asbestos
Add Asbestos Sampling to a Home Inspection (Save $50)
Asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally occurring, fibrous silicate minerals mined for their useful properties such as thermal insulation, chemical and thermal stability, and high tensile strength. Asbestos is commonly used as an acoustic insulator, and in thermal insulation, fire proofing and other building materials. Many products in use today contain asbestos.
Asbestos is made up of microscopic bundles of fibers that may become airborne when asbestos- containing materials are damaged or disturbed. When these fibers get into the air they may be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause significant health problems.
Most products made today do not contain asbestos. Those few products made which still contain asbestos that could be inhaled are required to be labeled as such. However, until the 1970s, many types of building products and insulation materials used in homes contained asbestos. For more information, go to www.EPA.gov/asbestos
