Lead-Based Paint

Terranova Enviro Consultants has an experienced and certified team of EPA-certified Lead Inspectors and Lead Risk Assessors for the testing of lead based paint (LBP) and evaluating the health hazard posed byLBP. In New York City, we regularly provide LBP services to address violationsi ssued by the New York City Department of Health, under Local Law 1, in response to elevated lead levels in a child. We also maintain our own X-ray fluorescence (XRF) detectors that directly measures the lead content of paint and thereby avoids the delay and cost of collecting and submitting numerous paint chip samples for laboratory analysis. Our LBP consulting services include the following below...

XRF Inspection

A lead inspection or survey locates, categorizes and evaluates the condition of lead-based paint (LBP) or lead containing materials in a given area. Using specialized, non-destructive testing methods, Terranova Enviro Consultants is able to provide an instant determination if lead-based paint is present. We are also proficient in testing soil and dust for the presence of lead.

Risk Assessment

Using Title X protocols, we will categorize and prioritize potential lead hazards utilizing visual inspections, renovation records and tenant and landlord information. Information about the condition,physical characteristics, and location of the paint, allows us to assess the likelihood of lead dust being released in the future and posing a threat to health and safety.

Abatement Monitoring

Terranova Enviro Consultants Inspectors will carefully monitor your project to make certain the affected lead areas are removed properly throughout the abatement process. Special attention is paid in maintaining the proper air quality to guarantee the safety of our workers. Our Inspectors will ensure your project meets every federal, state and local regulation.

Visual Inspection

A paint condition assessment is conducted on all painted surfaces to check for signs of cracking, peeling or chipping on all painted surfaces. Our inspectors check for potential generation of lead dust through impact, friction, binding and scraping of painted surfaces.

Post Clearance Testing

In order to deem the project lead-safe and in compliance with regulations, post-clearance testing is performed. Dust wipes are taken and analyzed throughout the project site to guarantee the area is lead-safe.
