Lead-Based Paint Testing | Charles Taylor Environmental

Service Overview

Lead-based paint remains a significant hazard in buildings constructed prior to 1978. Deteriorating paint can create hazardous dust and chips that pose serious health risks. Charles Taylor Environmental provides comprehensive lead inspection and risk assessment services to identify hazards accurately.

Our state-certified inspectors utilize X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers for non-destructive testing and collect paint chip samples for laboratory analysis when necessary. We deliver defensible data to guide your renovation, abatement, or demolition projects.
