Visual Lead Inspections require an inspector to visit you and your property at a designated time and place. Testing of each livable room in the house is required including kitchen and bathrooms. If chipping paint or dust is visible, the inspector will provide you with a list of areas to mitigate. A return visit will be needed to inspect deficient areas. Once visual inspection is passed, )no chipping or peeling paint visible), samples will be taken and sent to the the laboratory.

Only laboratories approved by Maryland Department of the Environment can be used for sample analysis. Standard processing time is 5 business days. (weekends are not counted)
