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 follow-up, 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
Ask the report to identify the address, tested rooms and components, method, findings, date, and scope limits. Keep repair or cleanup records separate from the test report.
For a Fort Greene repair follow-up, make the record easy to compare with the original work. Include the address, rooms, components, method requested, date or stage of the work, access limits, and the question that remains open. If repairs or cleanup are documented elsewhere, identify those records without asking the test report to serve as a repair certificate.
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 document selected painted components, while dust wipes can provide laboratory-analyzed information about settled dust in selected locations. Choose based on the follow-up question. If the concern is whether paint was present on a component, identify that component. If the concern is dust after work, identify the surface and location for sampling. A combined request should keep both purposes visible.
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 Fort Greene follow-up report should state what was examined, the method, results or observations, and any scope limits. Compare it with the repair record, but keep testing, repair, and cleanup as separate records. If the work changed the surfaces or introduced a new dust question, ask whether the follow-up needs a new scope rather than treating the earlier visit as complete.
