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.
Attach the work list or estimate and mark surfaces that will be scraped, cut, enclosed, replaced, or repainted. Include access limits and whether you need paint information, dust information, or both.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Islip 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 an Islip request, send the address and the work list, estimate, or plan. Mark surfaces that may be scraped, cut, enclosed, removed, replaced, or repainted, and separate interior rooms from exterior components. Include access limits, occupancy information, and whether you need paint information, dust information, or both. This keeps the scope tied to the planned work.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Islip?
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 provides field information about selected painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. A painted door, window, wall, or trim component calls for a paint-focused question, while dust sampling addresses settled material. If both are relevant, name both. XRF does not measure settled dust, and dust wipes do not identify lead in every painted surface.
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 records the areas examined. It does not perform repairs, remove dust, issue a permit, or replace an inspection, clearance decision, or agency review. If a town, village, owner, contractor, or reviewer has given you a written scope, send it with the request. EPA's RRP guidance is a separate source for lead-safe renovation requirements.
