Unlock Your Property’s Potential – Get Your Lead & Asbestos Inspections Done Today!

Lead and asbestos inspections are essential for keeping older properties safe and healthy, especially in places like New Hampshire and Rhode Island, where many buildings still contain these hazardous materials. Both lead and asbestos were popular in construction for their unique benefits—lead for its durability in paint and plumbing, and asbestos for its fire resistance and insulation properties. But while they were once standard in building materials, we now know they pose serious health risks.

When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and easily inhaled, leading to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory issues. Lead exposure, often from old paint or pipes, is equally harmful, particularly to children, as it can cause developmental delays and other serious health conditions. This is why lead and asbestos inspections are critical, especially if you’re planning renovations or simply want peace of mind in an older home or office.

Lead and asbestos inspections involve a thorough assessment by certified inspectors who safely test for these materials without exposing you to risk. We perform a lead risk assessment of your property and prepare an Occupant Protection Plan (OPP) for lead abatement (if necessary). If lead or asbestos is found, we provide guidance on how to handle or remove it, ensuring your property meets current safety standards.

These inspections not only keep you and your family safe from potential exposure but also help you avoid legal and health issues down the road.

Lead and asbestos inspections are a key step in protecting families, employees, and the community. They offer a straightforward way to detect these materials and take necessary actions, creating a safer environment for everyone. Whether you’re remodeling or just want to ensure a healthy space, our lead and asbestos inspections give you the confidence that your property is safe and compliant with today’s health standards.
