Independent, Lab-Backed Lead Inspections and Analysis
Paradigm provides comprehensive lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments to ensure your property meets all federal and state safety standards.
As an independent testing firm, we provide objective data without the conflict of interest associated with lead abatement contractors.
Compliance-First Service Options
From mandatory rental registries to large-scale abatement oversight, we provide the certified documentation needed to navigate modern lead-safety regulations.
- XRF lead-based paint inspections: Non-destructive testing using state-of-the-art X-ray fluorescence technology to identify lead content instantly without damaging surfaces.
- Lead risk assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to identify active lead hazards in paint, dust, and soil, accompanied by actionable management recommendations.
- Project design & oversight: Development of technical specifications for lead abatement and on-site monitoring to ensure contractors follow safe work practices.
- Post-abatement clearance testing: Independent verification and dust-wipe analysis to confirm a property is safe for occupancy following lead hazard reduction.
Our certified inspectors ensure that every report is legally defensible and meets the rigorous requirements of NYS and EPA lead-safe standards.
Testing Without Compromise: Our “No-Conflict” Guarantee
Hiring a company that both identifies lead hazards and performs the remediation is a significant risk to your project budget. At Paradigm, we strictly adhere to a testing-only model to protect our clients from biased results.
Because we do not perform lead abatement, we have no incentive to exaggerate findings. Our mission is to provide the accurate, independent data you need to protect your occupants and satisfy legal requirements without unnecessary remediation costs.
