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 permit, inspection, or closeout work, send the drawings and identify the affected area. The report purpose determines whether XRF, dust wipes, or both are useful for the property decision.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Riverhead 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 Riverhead request connected to a permit, inspection, or closeout, send the address, drawings or work list, affected rooms or components, access limits, and exact report purpose. Mark areas that may be disturbed and separate interior, exterior, occupied, and construction spaces. If a reviewer named a component or requested a document, include that information before scheduling.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Riverhead?
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 selected painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. Tell us whether the project question concerns paint, dust, or both, and identify the surfaces or rooms involved. Neither method automatically covers every part of a property or replaces the other method.
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 supports a property decision by documenting the requested scope, but it does not perform repairs, cleanup, permitting, clearance, or inspection. A report cannot by itself confirm that a project is complete or satisfy an unknown reviewer requirement. Send the written request from the owner, contractor, building official, or reviewer. EPA's RRP guidance addresses separate lead-safe work requirements. It records only the stated scope. EPA RRP guidance.
