LEAD SAFE
Lead Safe Certification
Our company will arrange an appointment with your tenant to perform the lead test. This test consists of “swabbing” each of the bedrooms’ floors, the windowsills (2 tests per bedroom), and one common area (usually a kitchen or a living room).
Submit each of the samples to our 3rd party laboratory for a detailed test of each sample (they used an acid test protocol). The lab takes approximately 10 business days to provide results (but can be sooner if you want to pay for expedited service).
Once the laboratory completes your analysis, our simplified service will provide you with the following:
Lead Safe Certification
Laboratory Report
Filing instructions for the Department of Buildings & Code Compliance
In the unlikely case, if an area of the house fails the test (98% of our tests pass), we will come back and retest after you remediate the area that has failed.
Request a lead safe test in minutes. Once you fill out the form, one of our technicians will reach out to schedule a test within 24-48 hours.

Efficiency & Studio - $200
1 Bedroom - $200
2 Bedroom - $225
3 Bedroom - $250
4 Bedroom - $275
5 Bedroom - $300
Add $25 incremental cost for each additional bedroom
Appointment No Show
In the event that a tenant does not provide access or there is no landlord or management company representative onsite to gain access to the unit/home at the scheduled time of the test, an “Appointment No Show” fee will be billed in the amount of $75.
