FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I be concerned about lead paint if my home was built before 1978?

Yes. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead is most dangerous when paint deteriorates or is disturbed during renovation, releasing lead dust that can be inhaled or ingested.

Is lead testing required in Texas?

Lead testing is required for federally assisted housing renovations and HUD-funded properties. It is strongly recommended before any renovation of pre-1978 homes, especially those with young children or pregnant women.

What is the difference between a lead screening and a risk assessment?

A screening identifies the presence of lead-based paint. A risk assessment goes further, evaluating the condition of lead paint and identifying specific hazards such as deteriorating paint, lead dust, and contaminated soil.

What happens after lead is found?

We provide a detailed written report identifying the location and condition of lead-based paint. We can refer you to a licensed lead abatement contractor for safe remediation if needed.
