"They were very professional. We had them test for lead in a multiple dwelling building. They were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the very confusing local laws of NYS, and the nuances of how we have to deal with the issues. They were on time, very thorough with their work, (very friendly, which counts), and seemed to very much care about the quality of their work. They were fair and reasonable with their rates."

"When my son tested positive for lead I was obviously very anxious to get my home tested. I reached out to my local Department of Health for guidance and they told me to make sure that whomever does the testing be EPA certified and use XRF, which is why I chose Lead and Mold Detectives. They got back to my request for an estimate in record time and made an appointment for me for the following week. Tested the entire house using XRF and kept me in the loop throughout the process. Very happy with their work and would use them again in the future."

"From the initial scheduling call to receiving the final report, the service from Lead Free Environmental was impeccable. Their inspector, Waqas Akram was extremely professional and took the time to explain exactly how the XRF testing worked, minimizing any disruption to our home. They were thorough, punctual, and, most importantly, provided a clear, easy-to-understand report that finally gave us the peace of mind we needed for our young children. Highly recommend for anyone concerned about an older home."

"I recently hired Elite Lead Paint Testing for an inspection on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. From the very first call, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the entire process clearly. The technician arrived right on time, was extremely courteous, and handled everything with care — making sure to test thoroughly without disturbing any areas unnecessarily. The report came back quickly and was detailed, easy to understand, and gave me full confidence in the safety of my home. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with great customer service, but Elite Lead Paint Testing truly delivered on both. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable, accurate, and professional lead testing. They made the whole experience simple and stress-free."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in New-york, NY

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. Many pre-1980 houses also contain lead in their plumbing and decorative materials, so age alone is a significant red flag. Older homes near industrial areas face an even higher risk. Because you can’t confirm lead by sight, scheduling a test is the safest way to protect your family.

In older houses, lead can lurk in painted trim, window sashes, soil around the foundation, plumbing pipes, and even vintage hardware. The metal is toxic, and children and pregnant women are most at risk. Exposure can trigger developmental delays, learning problems, and organ damage. Because the EPA links even low levels to serious health effects, test every suspected surface and address any hazards right away.

A positive test means lead is present somewhere you can touch, breathe, or disturb. The next step is a full risk assessment to map exactly where the hazard lies and outline the safest fix: encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal. Repairs start at $1,000 but can exceed $10,000 for complete elimination, so act quickly and hire certified pros to keep your family safe.

EPA lead certification proves that inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors follow federal safety rules under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program. The credential costs an average of $300, and certified professionals can legally test, contain, or remove lead hazards. Hiring a certified pro protects you from fines and ensures the work meets strict health standards.

Lead-based paint looks no different from any other paint, so you can’t identify it by color or sheen. Even flawless walls may hide it. If paint starts chipping, flaking, or peeling, schedule a professional test right away. Only laboratory-grade testing confirms lead and guides the safest fix for your home.
