Lead Law Update (FAQ Series): What happens if my property fails the lead test?

We are regularly receiving questions regarding the new Lead Law and have created a weekly “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ’s) forum for you as you desire to become more informed of the Lead Law and its complexity.

This week we are featuring a common question:

Question: What happens if my property fails the lead test? 

Answer:  If your property fails the lead test, we will advise you of the specific area that had failed the test and how to remediate the area.  Once the area has been “remediated” we are required to retest entire property that failed. Keep in mind, only about 5% of the tests we have performed have failed.  As such, we are confident that your rental property will be compliant with the lead law.

As always, we are available for your testing needs and if you have questions, please give us a call.
