Our Lead Services

Lead Safe Visual Inspection

We perform visual lead inspections to identify deteriorated painted surfaces including peeling paint, chipping paint, cracking paint, flaking paint, or damaged painted components throughout the property.

These inspections are commonly requested for:

• Rental property compliance
• Township requirements
• Property maintenance
• Tenant safety concerns
• Housing inspections
• Property turnover inspections

Our team documents visible paint conditions and helps property owners understand potential lead-related concerns.

Lead XRF Testing

Priority Environmental NJ provides portable XRF lead testing for painted building components. XRF analyzers help determine whether lead-based paint may be present without causing major damage to surfaces.

Common testing areas include:

• Window frames
• Doors
• Baseboards
• Walls
• Railings
• Exterior siding
• Trim
• Ceilings
• Stair components

XRF testing is frequently used during real estate transactions, renovation planning, and environmental evaluations.

Lead Dust Wipe Sampling

Lead dust wipe testing helps determine whether lead dust may be present on interior surfaces within the property. Samples are collected carefully from floors, windowsills, and other accessible areas and submitted for laboratory analysis.

Dust wipe testing may be recommended for:

• Child-occupied facilities
• Rental properties
• Clearance testing
• Post-renovation testing
• Tenant concerns
• Environmental evaluations

Laboratory results help determine whether lead dust hazards may exist inside the building.

Residential Lead Testing

We provide lead inspection services for:

• Houses
• Apartments
• Condominiums
• Multi-family properties
• Rental units
• Older residential buildings

Many North Jersey properties were built decades ago and may still contain older painted surfaces. Professional testing can help identify possible lead-based paint conditions before remodeling or repairs begin.

Commercial Lead Inspection

Priority Environmental NJ also works with commercial property owners and contractors throughout Fort Lee and nearby New Jersey communities.

We provide inspections for:

• Office buildings
• Retail properties
• Restaurants
• Mixed-use buildings
• Schools
• Daycare facilities
• Warehouses
• Renovation projects

Our inspections help commercial property owners better understand possible lead concerns before disturbing painted materials.

Pre-Renovation Lead Evaluation

Renovation work involving painted surfaces may disturb lead-based paint and create dust hazards. We perform lead evaluations before:

• Interior remodeling
• Window replacement
• Demolition projects
• Kitchen remodeling
• Bathroom renovations
• Surface repairs
• Painting preparation
• Property rehabilitation work

Testing before construction may help contractors and property owners understand environmental conditions within the work area.

Lead Inspection Reports

After the inspection process is completed, we provide organized reports explaining the findings from the evaluation and laboratory analysis when applicable.

Reports are designed to be clear and easy to understand for homeowners, landlords, contractors, and property managers.
