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 transaction record, 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.
For a Red Hook transaction record, describe the decision before booking. Include the address, unit or areas, planned work, access conditions, visible paint concerns, and any dust question. If the request is limited to selected components, name them. This lets the scope reflect the actual transaction file instead of implying that a small inspection request covers every room or shared area.
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 used for selected painted-component questions. Dust wipes are used for settled-dust or post-work questions and require laboratory analysis. If both are relevant to the transaction record, state which rooms or surfaces belong to each method. The transaction context does not change what either method measures, so keep the two purposes and their locations distinct in the request.
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.
Ask the Red Hook report to identify the tested areas, components or sampled surfaces, method, findings, and limitations. Keep transaction documents, repair plans, and access notes with the report without treating them as part of the testing result. If a buyer, seller, or manager raises a new area or question, confirm whether it requires additional scope before relying on the existing record.
