Lead Testing for Homeowners in Syracuse & Central New York
In Syracuse and across Central New York, many homes were built before 1978, when lead-based paint was common. As paint ages, it can create dust and chips-especially at friction points like windows, doors, stairs, and floors. These particles are easily tracked onto surfaces where children play and families gather. Our EPA & HUD certified team provides homeowner-friendly testing that fits your schedule and delivers clear, actionable results. We use the SciAps X-550 XRF for rapid assessments, collect dust wipes to verify cleanliness, and can sample soil and water when needed. You’ll receive a submission-ready report with practical next steps, so you can protect your family, satisfy compliance, and move forward with confidence. One call gets everything started-and finished-fast.
