Lead-Based Paint and PCB Testing Services

SME and ESHA provide testing, abatement design, monitoring, and project management services to address toxic materials issues, such as lead-based paint and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Lead-based paint is common in buildings built before 1978 and can be especially hazardous to young children and expectant mothers. Lead-based paint becomes a problem when it is in poor condition, is in the soil, or is improperly disturbed by painters, renovators, or remodelers. The most common activities that cause significant lead-based paint contamination and exposure are repairs, painting, and renovations. The USEPA regulates these activities, so test your building before it's too late.

The presence of PCBs is primarily associated with building materials such as caulking, paint, mastics, and sealants, which can be disturbed by activities associated with renovation, demolition, and window restoration. Please call or contact us today for more information or a lead-based paint and PCB testing consultation.
