San Jose’s leading lead testing services!

Lead is a heavy metal that can cause serious health problems, particularly in children. Lead paint testing is often required by law to be done before any renovations take place.

The EPA has strict regulations on lead paint removal and renovation projects as well as who can do such work. Before the project begins it's important to find out if there are lead hazards present so you don't endanger your family or employees.

Reed Environmental will test for lead at your home, office, or other building and provide the necessary documentation proving the results of our inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lead?

Lead is a chemical element that can be found in old paint, plumbing materials, solder on new household appliances and pipes. Lead enters the body when it's ingested or inhaled causing damage to vital organs like the kidneys, brain, and reproductive system.

What are the effects of lead exposure?

Some effects are immediate while others take weeks, months, or even years before they appear physically. Not all individuals will have obvious symptoms but may still suffer long-term health problems due to prolonged exposure to this heavy metal including high blood pressure which increases the risks for heart disease among other conditions. Children may experience developmental delays as well as learning disabilities because lead interferes with normal growth processes in their developing brains.

Why is lead testing important?

It's illegal to sell products that contain lead that is harmful when used. This includes old paint on walls, doors, or window sills where small children can ingest it by touching the surface. The EPA regulates how much lead is allowed in certain household items so buying new appliances from reputable stores will help protect you from accidentally using a product with high amounts of this toxic metal in them.

In addition to these regulations, the U.S government requires most renovation projects over a specified amount to be inspected for possible hazards before beginning renovations. Without proper documentation, you could receive fines and other penalties later down the line if lead is detected during an inspection. These, among other reasons, are why San Jose lead testing services are important!
