WHAT WE TEST
Checks tested painted surfaces for lead. For renovation planning or documenting paint conditions.
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
For a damaged-paint question, start with the address, rooms, painted components, access limits, and planned work. The neighborhood can orient the request, but property details decide what should be tested and reported.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Describe the damaged surface, room, access, and planned work before scheduling. A professional can then advise what should be documented before repair and what may need follow-up.
Do not disturb or cover damaged paint simply to make the surface easier to inspect. Before scheduling in Bensonhurst, describe where the paint is damaged, whether the area is accessible, what work is planned, and whether the question concerns the painted component, settled dust, or both. The scope can then distinguish documentation needs from repair or cleanup decisions.
XRF fits a question about painted components. Dust wipes fit a settled-dust or post-work question and require laboratory analysis. One project may need one method or both.
If the concern is the damaged painted surface itself, XRF may address the paint question for the components included in the scope. Dust wipes are different: they provide laboratory-analyzed information about settled dust in selected locations. A project involving both deteriorated paint and dust may need both methods, with the rooms and purpose of each sample stated separately.
A report covers the areas and components included in the agreed scope. It does not cover inaccessible areas or decide repairs, transactions, or other requirements outside that scope.
Ask the report to connect each result to a room or component and to note any visible limitation that affected access. Keep photographs, repair records, and cleanup records with the property file, but do not treat them as substitutes for the agreed testing. If the work plan changes after testing, review whether the original areas still answer the Bensonhurst project question.
