Safety with Professional XRF Lead Paint Inspection
Know exactly where lead paint is — without damaging a single wall
An XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyzer measures the lead content of painted surfaces directly through the paint layers, with no chipping or sanding. It is the testing method NYC Local Law 31 requires, and the fastest way to learn which doors, windows, trim and walls in a unit contain lead-based paint. Exit Lead coordinates XRF inspections for single apartments, whole buildings, vacant-unit turnovers and pre-renovation surveys, and delivers a written report you can keep for your compliance records.
Regulations we work under: NYC Local Law 31 of 2020 (XRF inspection of covered units by an EPA-certified inspector or risk assessor independent of the owner), NYC Local Law 1 of 2004, and HPD lead-based paint rules.
