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 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
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.
To keep a Lower East Side pre-listing scope clear, write down the address, unit and shared areas, painted rooms or components, access limits, planned work, and the date the file is needed. Mark spaces that are excluded, occupied, locked, or still under repair. A precise list prevents a general pre-listing request from being mistaken for testing of every area in the property.
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.
Use XRF for the painted surfaces named in the pre-listing question. Use dust wipes for settled dust or a post-work question; laboratory analysis controls that report step. If both methods are requested, list their rooms and purposes separately. This gives the listing file a readable record of which result answers which question without blending paint testing and dust analysis.
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.
The report should cover only the rooms and components included in the agreed scope and available for testing. Preserve the scope notes with the listing file, including any inaccessible or excluded areas. A report documents the tested condition; it does not determine repairs, guarantee untested areas, or decide how a buyer or seller should proceed.
