Lead exposure can cause long-term health problems, including developmental delays in children, neurological damage, and organ issues. Because lead was commonly used in paint, soil, plumbing, and building materials prior to 1978, many older homes and properties still contain hidden risks.
Testing is the only way to know if lead is present. Oak Leaf Environmental uses EPA-approved testing methods and laboratory analysis to deliver accurate, reliable results you can trust.
Lead testing is used to gather clear, objective information about a building or project area. Oak Leaf Environmental Solutions offers testing intended to help property owners, organizations, and contractors better understand existing conditions before making decisions about maintenance, occupancy, or construction.
We provide lead testing for the following types of properties and projects:
Depending on the goals of the inspection, testing may focus on specific locations or materials within a property. These locations and materials may include:
The information provided through testing can be used to document current conditions, support planning, or guide further evaluation when needed.
Lead testing is recommended if your home or building was built before 1978, you are buying or selling a property, you are planning renovations or demolition, a child has elevated blood lead levels, you manage rental housing, or you want peace of mind about paint, water, or soil safety.
If your property was built before 1978, it may contain lead-based paint. Oak Leaf Environmental performs lead paint inspections to identify where lead is present and risk assessments to determine whether deteriorating paint, dust, or soil poses a hazard to occupants.
These services are often required during real estate transactions, renovations, or when a child has elevated blood lead levels.
If lead is found, Oak Leaf Environmental can coordinate or perform lead remediation using regulated methods that align with federal and state guidelines. Services may include paint stabilization or removal, containment and cleaning of lead dust, soil remediation for lead contamination, and post-remediation clearance testing.
We prioritize safety throughout the process and verify results with follow-up testing before spaces are returned to use.
Soil is an often-overlooked source of lead exposure, especially around older homes, foundations, play areas, and gardens. Lead can enter soil from historic exterior paint, past vehicle emissions, and industrial activity, then be tracked indoors or absorbed by children and pets.
Oak Leaf Environmental offers lead-specific soil testing to identify contamination levels and help property owners understand potential exposure risks. We collect targeted soil samples and provide laboratory analysis focused specifically on lead concentration, with clear reporting and guidance on next steps.
