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 interior, residential, or commercial work, separate occupied areas from the construction zone. List painted components or dust surfaces, access limits, and the decision the requested report must support.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Patchogue 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 Patchogue request, describe the property and separate occupied areas from the construction zone. List rooms, painted components, dust surfaces, exterior elements, access limits, and report purpose. State whether the project is interior, residential, commercial, maintenance, or renovation work. A contractor scope can help identify the actual work area and avoid including unrelated rooms.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Patchogue?
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 tested painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. Name the doors, windows, trim, walls, rooms, or work zones tied to the question. You may need one method or both, but they are not interchangeable: XRF does not replace dust sampling, and a dust result does not determine the lead content of every painted component.
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 documents the selected areas and conditions. It does not perform repairs, cleanup, containment, permitting, clearance, or agency review. If an owner, contractor, inspector, or reviewer needs the report for a specific project decision, provide that request before testing.
