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 a dust question, 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
A few questions,
answered.
When are dust wipes useful?
Describe the rooms or work zone, the settled-dust question, access, and the deadline. That helps separate dust wipes from painted-component testing and keeps laboratory timing in the plan.
Dust wipes are useful when the question is about settled dust in a room or work zone, including a question after work has been performed. Send the address, exact areas, access limits, reason for sampling, and decision deadline. If painted components also need evaluation, list that as a separate XRF question. This detail keeps the sampling plan tied to the condition being investigated.
Should I request XRF or dust wipes?
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 is for painted-component testing, while dust wipes are for settled-dust questions and require laboratory analysis. One Midtown project may need one method or both, but each method should have its own locations and purpose. A dust result should not be presented as a reading of every painted surface, and an XRF result should not be used to answer a settled-dust question.
What will the report cover?
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 identify the rooms or work zones sampled, the components tested when XRF is included, the method for each result, and any access limit. Review it against that stated scope before using it for planning or records. It does not expand to nearby rooms, determine repairs, or establish a result for an area that was not included.
