The EPA recommends a qualified lead professional carry out home lead testing if you home was build prior to 1978 or is child-occupied. Lead paint applications were banned after 1978, but it is always possible that lead paint was used on a building after that year. If you anticipate remodeling, contact SilverKey to inspect your home for any lead.
Lead poisoning can be caused by lead-based paint and has many negative effects on the body which includes stunting the development of children. Children are especially at risk, experiencing symptoms such as cognitive and physical disabilities. Some unwanted effects of long-term lead exposure include irritability, weight loss, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, vomiting, and fatigue.

As discussed above, lead can pose health risks when disturbed. All renovation and demolition projects on buildings built prior to 1978 must be inspected for lead paint by a Colorado-certified lead paint inspector. During a lead paint chip inspection, one paint chip sample will be collected from every color paint within the scope of work.
