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 an addition or accessory project, identify existing painted components near the planned work. Include the areas we can access and the decision the results must support before choosing a testing scope.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Garden City 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 Garden City request involving an addition or accessory project, describe the planned work and the existing painted components near it. Include the address, rooms or exterior areas, access limits, occupancy concerns, and the decision the report must support. If the project has drawings or a work list, use those to identify locations rather than asking for an undefined property-wide review. The clearer the boundary, the easier it is to compare the results with the planned disturbance.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Garden City?
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.
Choose XRF when the main question is whether selected painted components contain lead. Choose dust wipes when the question is about settled dust in named locations and laboratory analysis is appropriate. For an addition or other alteration, identify surfaces that may be cut, scraped, removed, or otherwise disturbed. If both paint and dust information matter, request them as separate parts of the scope so each result remains clear.
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 can inform a Garden City project, but it is only one part of the project record. It does not complete repairs, authorize construction, establish containment, or replace an inspection or review required by the project. Use the report to communicate the tested locations and findings, then confirm the next action with the person responsible for repair, design, permitting, clearance, or agency coordination.
