A Lead Risk Inspection includes identifying exposures to lead or potential exposures to lead from deteriorated lead-based paint, elevated surface dust levels, lead contaminated soil, and sometimes from drinking water. The inspection includes a report that describes recommendations for abatement (long-term) and interim controls (short-term) for each identified lead based paint hazard.

Lead Inspection Risk Assessments (LIRA) are required by federal, state, or local law In some circumstances for certain property types (day care centers, for example). A LIRA identifies potential hazards associated with lead and lists the required actions that must be taken to correct the identified issues.

If you’ve had a lead hazard and corrected the issue, the state of Michigan requires that you also pass a Lead Clearance Examination to ensure that a property no longer has lead hazards. (This must be conducted within 6 months of the initial inspection.)

We offer Environmental Investigations in response to a person who is found to have an elevated blood lead level (EBL). This is a very extensive test including all materials in the property and interviews with anyone associated with the property. Michigan law requires an accredited EBL investigator perform the investigation.
