WHAT WE TEST

Paint or dust?

01

XRF paint testing

Checks tested painted surfaces for lead. For renovation planning or documenting paint conditions.

02

Dust-wipe sampling

Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.

For a pre-listing file, 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

A few questions,
answered.

What should I send before listing?

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.

Before listing a Chelsea property, send the address, unit or shared areas, painted components of interest, access limits, planned repairs, and the date the listing file must be ready. Note whether a room is occupied or unavailable and who will open the property. This gives the testing request a defined boundary instead of leaving the inspection to assumptions about the building.

Should I request XRF or dust wipes?

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 is the direct fit for a listing question about painted components. Dust wipes are for a settled-dust or post-work question and require laboratory analysis. If the listing file needs both kinds of information, request both methods separately and identify the rooms or work zones for each. A clean method distinction makes the resulting documentation easier to interpret.

What will the report cover?

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.

Expect the report to describe the tested rooms, surfaces or components, methods, and any access limitation within the agreed scope. Keep that scope with the listing records so a reader can see what the report does and does not address. The report does not determine a listing price, authorize repairs, or make conclusions about areas that were not included.
