Certified Lead Soil Inspection
In this inspection, a trained and certified inspector will collect soil samples from a ground plot believed to have been contaminated with lead.
Certified laboratory will analyze samples to rule out or confirm the lead contamination as well as to determine the amount of lead present.
Certified Lead Dust Wipe Inspection
In this inspection, a trained and certified inspector will use special wipes to collect dust from floors, windowsills, or window wells in rooms and spaces believed to have been contaminated with lead. Certified laboratory will analyze samples to rule out or confirm the lead contamination as well as to determine the amount of lead present.
Non-Certified Lead DIY Testing
In this service, we will arrange for the lab analysis of provided samples of paint and deliver a report with the lab results stating the absence or presence of lead and its levels. We will send detailed instructions on what samples are required (including their size), how to collect them, and how to pack and label them.
There are two delivery options: the samples can be dropped off or mailed to the following address: 9800 Mount Pyramid Ct Suite #400, Englewood, CO 80112.
Testing for the presence of lead in paints is recommended whenever the paint was applied before lead-based paints were banned in residential use in the United States in 1978.However, results coming from non-certified procedures will not be accepted by the majority of firms contracted to renovate/demolish suspected surfaces. These contractors typically require reports based on certified inspections. The main difference is that the independent and qualified inspector certifies the origin of the samples and ensures a full chain of custody.
Certified Lead Paint-Chip Inspection
In this inspection, a trained and certified inspector will collect samples of suspected paint(s).
Certified laboratory will analyze samples using SW-846-7000B Flame AA method to determine amount of lead. The number of samples depends on the number of suspected paints that are to be tested for the presence of lead.
Certified Lead Large XRF Inspection
In this inspection, a trained and certified inspector will shoot at suspect surfaces with a low energy x-ray fluorescent beam, which penetrates through multiple layers of the surface and returns lead content values.
The results are immediate, however we will need additional 48 hours to compile a full written report.The XRF testing method is non-invasive which means that no physical samples need to be taken. For this reason, XRF lead testing can be used on on any surface or material, starting with walls, through furniture and pipes, and ending with household equipment and toys.
Certified Lead Medium XRF Inspection
In this inspection, a trained and certified inspector will shoot at suspect surfaces with a low energy x-ray fluorescent beam, which penetrates through multiple layers of the surface and returns lead content values. The results are immediate, however we will need additional 24 hours to compile a full written report.

Fast, Dependable Results when it Matters the Most
Lead-based paint is a serious health hazard—especially in homes and buildings built before 1978. When disturbed during renovation, maintenance, or demolition, it can release toxic lead dust into the air. EnvioCore offers fast, certified lead-based paint testing so you can move forward safely and legally.
There is no safe level of lead exposure. That’s why our team takes lead testing seriously and performs inspections with precision and urgency.
Using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, we can scan painted surfaces and detect lead levels without damaging walls or materials. This is the fastest and most convenient method—especially helpful for pre-renovation surveys or real estate due diligence.
When XRF isn’t possible or lab confirmation is required, we collect a small sample of the paint and send it to a certified laboratory for analysis. This method is ideal when paint is already chipping or peeling and can provide highly accurate results.
If you’ve had lead abatement performed by a contractor, you’ll need an independent clearance test to confirm the area is safe and compliant. We perform visual checks and collect dust wipe samples to verify the success of the remediation before clearance is issued.
If your property was built before 1978, Colorado law and EPA rules may require testing prior to disturbance.
Lead exposure can affect nearly every organ system in the body—but children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk.
In Children, Lead Can Cause:
In Adults, Lead Exposure May Cause:
Lead dust is invisible and can settle on floors, toys, windowsills, and furniture. Regular cleaning is not enough—testing is the only way to know for sure.
We’re here to give you unbiased answers so you can take the next step confidently.
Heavily used before the 1950s, with declining use until banned for residential purposes in 1978.
It made paint more durable, moisture-resistant, and fast-drying—but at the cost of safety.
Not necessarily, but only certified testing can determine lead content. Paint that’s intact and sealed is less risky, but once peeling or disturbed, it can release lead dust.
If built after 1978, testing isn’t usually required—but some commercial or multi-unit buildings may still contain lead-based paint in older areas.
