Lead-Based Paint Inspection and Risk Assessment
Lead-Based Paint, Answered in Monroe, Louisiana.
For any property built before 1978, lead-based paint is a question you have to answer. Black Pine performs lead-based paint inspections, where the lead is, and risk assessments, whether it is a hazard, using XRF testing and accredited-laboratory analysis to HUD and EPA standards.
When You Need an Inspection
Who Needs a Lead-Based Paint Evaluation.
Homes and buildings built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. An inspection identifies it; a risk assessment determines whether the paint, dust, or soil is an actual hazard.
- 01Pre-1978 Properties. Federal disclosure rules apply to housing built before 1978. An inspection documents where lead-based paint is present.
- 02Property Transactions and Lending. Buyers, lenders, and HUD-assisted programs often require a lead inspection or risk assessment before a deal closes.
- 03Renovation and Repair. Disturbing painted surfaces in older buildings can create lead hazards. Testing first defines the scope and the RRP requirements.
- 04Child-Occupied Facilities and Rentals. Daycares, schools, and rental housing carry heightened obligations where children may be exposed.
Inspection-Only, by Design
In-place XRF testing of painted components, dust-wipe, soil, and paint-chip sampling for risk assessments, accredited-laboratory analysis, and a signed report with a clear hazard determination measured against the federal standards.
Because Black Pine does not perform abatement, the findings carry no incentive to expand the scope of work. You get an honest answer.

How It Works
We Test, We Sample, We Determine the Hazard.
A defined scope, a committed date, and a price up front. Most evaluations follow three steps.
XRF Inspection
A calibrated XRF analyzer tests painted components in place, identifying lead-based paint by location, substrate, and condition without destroying surfaces.
Sampling and Analysis
For a risk assessment, dust-wipe, soil, and paint-chip samples go to an accredited laboratory, with chain of custody documented throughout.
Report and Hazard Determination
