Lead Testing
Absolute Asbestos provides EPA RRP-certified lead renovation testing for residential and commercial properties built before 1978. Our trained technicians identify lead-based paint and other lead hazards so you can make informed decisions before renovation, purchase, or occupancy.
Professional Lead Testing for Safe Renovations
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes built before 1978, and many older properties throughout Stanwood, Arlington, Mount Vernon, and the surrounding communities still contain it. When lead paint is intact, it poses minimal risk. But when it deteriorates, or when renovation work disturbs painted surfaces, lead dust is released into the environment and can be inhaled or ingested—posing serious health risks, especially for young children and pregnant women.
The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule requires that contractors performing renovation work on pre-1978 housing use lead-safe work practices and that properties be tested before work begins. Absolute Asbestos provides comprehensive lead testing using XRF analyzers and laboratory analysis of paint chip samples. Our detailed reports identify the location and concentration of lead in tested surfaces, giving you the information you need to plan safe renovation work. We serve homeowners, property managers, real estate professionals, and contractors across Snohomish, Skagit, and Island Counties.
