Frequently Asked Questions
What is lead testing, and why is it important?
Lead testing is the process of checking for the presence of lead dust or lead-based paint in a property. This is typically done through surface inspections, dust sampling, or specialized tests to detect lead contamination, particularly in homes or rental properties built before 1978 when lead-based paints were banned.
Why is Lead Testing Important?
Health Safety: Lead exposure, especially in children, can cause serious health issues, including developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. Lead poisoning can also impact adults, leading to high blood pressure and kidney damage.
Legal Compliance: Many cities, including Philadelphia, require rental properties to undergo lead testing as part of obtaining a rental license. Failing to test or remediate lead hazards can prevent you from legally renting out your property.
Property Protection: Lead contamination can damage the reputation and value of your property. Regular lead testing ensures that your property remains safe and compliant with local regulations.
Peace of Mind: Testing your property gives you confidence that you're providing a safe living environment for tenants, protecting both their health and your investment.
What happens if lead is found in my property?
If lead is detected, you'll need to take remediation steps to address the contamination. This could involve professional cleaning, repainting, or removing affected areas. Follow-up testing is required to ensure the problem is fully addressed.
How long does lead testing take?
Lead testing usually takes a few hours to complete, depending on the size of the property and the areas being tested. Results can take several days to process, as samples are sent to certified labs for analysis.
How often should lead testing be done?
Lead testing is typically done when a property is first being rented out, especially if it’s an older building. It may also be required if renovations are done or if there’s a change in occupancy.
What is the next step if lead testing is not done?
If lead testing isn’t done and it’s required by law, you risk being unable to obtain a rental license or facing fines. It's essential to comply with testing requirements to avoid legal issues and protect your tenants' health.
