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.
Before scheduling, provide the exact address and work area. List painted components, occupied spaces, access limits, and whether the question concerns renovation, maintenance, rental use, or another property decision.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Huntington 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 Huntington request, start with the exact address and the decision behind the report. List affected rooms, painted components, occupied areas, exterior sections, and any inaccessible spaces. State whether the project is renovation, maintenance, rental preparation, purchase review, or another use. Plans or a contractor estimate can help identify the surfaces that may be disturbed. List shared spaces separately when they are part of the request.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Huntington?
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.
XRF is a field method for selected painted components. Dust wipes are for settled dust and require laboratory analysis. Tell us whether you need paint information, dust information, or both, then identify the surfaces or rooms tied to that question. Neither method automatically covers unlisted areas, and XRF does not replace dust sampling.
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.
A test report documents the areas examined. It does not repair deteriorated paint, remove dust, issue a permit, or replace an inspection or other review. If a reviewer has requested specific rooms, components, or report language, share that request before the visit.
