WHAT WE TEST
Paint or dust?
Dust-wipe sampling
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
For a rental or accessory-apartment project, separate the unit from shared halls, stairs, kitchens, and work areas. That boundary helps match testing to the alteration without assuming the whole property needs the same scope.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Babylon testing request?
Send the address, planned work, affected rooms or components, access limits, and the decision the report must support. That information helps define a practical scope.
For a Babylon request involving a rental, accessory apartment, or shared property, separate the unit from halls, stairs, entries, basements, kitchens, and exterior work areas. Include the address, alteration or maintenance plan, affected components, access limits, and report purpose. This keeps the scope tied to the actual work instead of assuming the whole property needs one test.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Babylon?
XRF provides field information about lead in tested painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. The right method depends on the property question.
XRF provides field information about tested painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. Explain whether the concern is existing paint, dust before work, or documentation after work, and name the rooms or surfaces involved. XRF does not measure dust, while a dust-wipe result does not identify lead in every painted component.
Can testing replace repairs or agency review?
No. Testing documents the areas and conditions examined. Repairs, clearance, permits, inspections, or other decisions remain separate and depend on the property and project.
Testing is one part of a property or renovation decision. It does not complete repairs, provide clearance by itself, issue a permit, or replace an inspection or agency review. Send any written scope from an owner, contractor, tenant, or reviewer before testing. EPA's RRP guidance covers a separate lead-safe work question for applicable renovation projects. EPA RRP guidance.
