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 Village of Northport work, send plans or a work list showing windows, trim, doors, siding, walls, or demolition areas that may be disturbed. Include access limits and the report purpose.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Northport 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 Northport request, identify the address and work list or plan. Name rooms and painted components that may be disturbed, such as windows, trim, doors, siding, walls, or demolition areas, and note access limits. Explain whether the report supports renovation, maintenance, a sale, rental use, or another decision. Include shared areas in the list so the request is clear for the requested scope.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Northport?
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 used for field information about selected painted components. Dust wipes are used for settled-dust questions and require laboratory analysis. Tell us whether the concern is paint, dust, or both, then name the rooms or components that matter. XRF does not measure settled dust, and dust wipes do not survey 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 what was examined and does not repair paint, complete cleanup, issue a permit, or replace an inspection or agency review. If a reviewer has identified required rooms, components, or project areas, send that information before scheduling.
