Why Lead Testing is Essential?
Lead-based paint in properties built before 1978 can pose serious health risks, particularly to children. Compliance with lead inspection laws is crucial for property owners and landlords. Environmental Testing Services LLC (ETS) provides Lead Safe Inspections (validity varies by region) and Lead Free Inspections (valid forever), ensuring a smooth, cost-effective process.
Certified Inspections

- Lead Certification
Understanding Lead-Safe vs.
Lead-Free Certification
Lead Safe Certification (Validity Varies by Region)
This certification ensures a property has no deteriorated or chipping paint. Interior dust samples are tested in a certified lab. If results pass, a “Lead Safe” Certificate is issued; otherwise, re-cleaning and re-testing are required.
- Certified lab analyzes dust samples to ensure compliance with lead safety regulations
- If results fail, affected areas must be cleaned and re-tested for certification
Certification validity varies by region, with New Jersey valid for 2 years, Philadelphia for 4 years, and Norristown for 3 years.
Lead Free Certification (Valid for a Lifetime!)
A lifetime certification ensuring a property is completely free of lead-based paint, verified through advanced X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology by a licensed professional. This certification eliminates future lead inspection requirements.
- Certified by a licensed Lead Risk Assessor (LRA) using advanced XRF technology
- A cost-effective solution that permanently removes lead inspection concerns for property owners
