What does a lead paint inspection include?

A lead paint inspection typically includes a visual review of painted surfaces, documentation of their condition, and recommendations for testing or sampling based on the property and planned work.

Do I need lead testing before renovation?

Testing can help identify potentially lead-containing or lead-based paint before renovation, repair, or demolition work begins. The appropriate approach depends on the property, the scope of work, and the surfaces involved.

Can ESS Environmental help with a lead abatement project?

Yes. ESS Environmental can provide consulting, scope-of-work development, project monitoring, documentation review, and clearance-related support for lead abatement projects.

Do you work with commercial properties and schools?

Yes. ESS Environmental serves residential, commercial, school, government, and public-sector clients throughout Sacramento and Northern California.

When should you consider lead paint testing?

You may want a lead paint inspection or consultation if your property has:

Older painted surfaces scheduled for renovation or repair

A planned demolition, remodel, or maintenance project
A need to identify potentially lead-containing paint before work begins
A lead abatement project requiring independent monitoring
A need for wipe clearance sampling or waste-stream analysis

Our Lead Testing & Consulting Services

Lead Paint Building Inspections

A complete building survey identifies painted surfaces and documents their condition. Testing and sampling can help determine whether lead-containing or lead-based paint is present.

Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

When appropriate, samples are collected and analyzed to provide clear findings that can inform project planning, remediation, or next steps.

Project Monitoring & Clearance Support

During a lead-related project, ESS Environmental can provide monitoring support, review project documentation, and help confirm that work is proceeding according to the established scope.
