Who should do the cleanup?

Always hire a person with special training for correcting lead problems -- someone who knows how to do this work safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict safety rules set by their state or the federal government. Contact the http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/nlic.htm National Lead Information Center for help with locating certified contractors in your area and to see if financial assistance is available. 

For more information, see the http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/resources.htm EPA's Lead Information Resources.

The identification of lead is beyond the scope of our inspection. However we can assist you in contacting licensed specialists in this field.
