What Is Lead Wipe Testing?
Lead wipe testing involves collecting dust from interior surfaces using EPA-approved wipes to determine if lead particles are present. These samples are then lab-tested to verify whether lead dust levels exceed federal or state limits.

She made several calls to help me coordinate to have testing done. She went above and beyond. Not only did she get it scheduled she got it scheduled for the same day. She is an amazing asset to your company. Make sure you hang onto her..

When Is Wipe Sampling Required?
Lead dust wipe testing is required or recommended when:
- Lead abatement or interim controls have been completed
- A renovation, repair, or painting project took place in a pre-1978 structure
- You’re preparing a rental unit for turnover or HUD compliance
- The health department mandates testing due to a child’s elevated blood lead level
- You’re doing a pre-purchase inspection or preparing a property for resale
- You need legal documentation for occupancy or clearance
Wipe sampling confirms that the space is safe for reentry, especially for children, tenants, and the general public.
Where We Collect Samples
We collect lead dust wipe samples from:
- Floors in bedrooms, living areas, and playrooms
- Windowsills and troughs, where dust often settles
- Stairs, landings, and handrails
- Other horizontal surfaces that are commonly touched or where dust accumulates
All sampling is conducted per HUD Guidelines and EPA clearance protocols.
Why Is Wipe Testing Important?
Lead dust is invisible—and the #1 cause of childhood lead poisoning.
Even tiny amounts can cause:
- Developmental delays
- Behavioral problems
- Cognitive and learning issues
Wipe testing:
- Verifies that dust was properly cleaned or contained
- Confirms a space is safe for reoccupancy
- Helps you comply with HUD, EPA, and CDPHE standards
- Reduces legal and liability risk for contractors, landlords, and homeowners

Preparing for the Inspection
To ensure valid testing:

- HUD/EPA clearance threshold comparisons
- Pass/fail status for each tested surface
- Documentation ready for use with public agencies, tenants, or inspectors
Wipe Sampling FAQs
You’ll need to re-clean or abate the area and schedule a re-test before the space can be cleared for occupancy.
Only certified professionals should handle lead dust cleanup. We can help connect you to approved teams if needed.
Not reliably. Dry sweeping or vacuuming can spread lead dust further. EPA recommends wet-cleaning methods and HEPA vacuums.
It depends on the scope. If the property is HUD-assisted or child-occupied, or if more than 6 ft² (interior) or 20 ft² (exterior) of paint is disturbed, yes.
DIY kits exist, but for clearance or legal purposes, wipe testing must be performed by a certified professional and analyzed in an accredited lab.
No. It shows the space is clean at the time of inspection. Future activities could reintroduce lead dust.
