Lead Testing for Real Estate Sales and Purchases

Understanding the Importance of Lead Testing in Real Estate Transactions

In Pennsylvania, the sale of residential properties built before 1978 requires careful attention to the potential presence of lead-based paint. As per the standard Pennsylvania Real Estate Agreement of Sale, a clause under “BUYERS DUE DILIGENCE” highlights the buyer's right to conduct a risk assessment or inspection for lead-based paint hazards in such properties.

Our Comprehensive Lead Testing Service

Our service is tailored to support both buyers and sellers in these real estate transactions, ensuring that they comply with the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act. This act mandates sellers of pre-1978 properties to provide buyers with critical information about lead-based paint hazards.

What We Offer:

  1. Thorough Inspection and Risk Assessment: We conduct a detailed examination of the property, covering all painted interior surfaces. Our goal is to identify any potential lead-based paint hazards, providing peace of mind to both parties involved in the transaction.

  2. EPA Laboratory Report: Our testing includes a comprehensive laboratory report from an EPA-approved facility. This report is crucial for a complete understanding of the lead content in the property.

  3. Educational Materials: In line with the legal requirements, we provide the EPA-approved pamphlet “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home”. This educational material is essential for informing about the risks of lead-based paint and the necessary precautions.

  4. Seller’s Disclosure Form: We assist in preparing and providing the necessary disclosure form that details the seller’s knowledge and any records of lead-based paint hazards in the property.
