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 repair 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
Send the address, rooms or components, access limits, planned work, and the decision deadline. If you need dust wipes, explain the dust question so the scope and timing are clear.
Start by defining what the repair decision needs to answer. In Carroll Gardens, list the room, damaged or planned-to-be-disturbed components, access conditions, and whether the concern is paint, dust, or both. If the surface is already damaged, describe its condition without treating that description as a test result. This helps separate pre-work documentation from the repair plan.
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.
XRF can address whether selected painted components are included in the paint-testing question. Dust wipes address settled dust in selected locations and require laboratory analysis. If repairs may create or move dust, say that clearly when requesting the scope. The two methods can support one project, but each should retain its own locations and purpose in the written request.
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.
A Carroll Gardens report should identify the rooms and components actually included, the method used, and any access or scope limits. Keep repair instructions, contractor notes, and cleanup documentation separate from the testing record. After work is complete, a new question may require a different scope, especially if the concern has changed from painted surfaces to settled dust.
