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.

I spoke with Vanessa - they were honest, transparent with me which I really appreciate. I had some questions about lead testing and they were straight shooters with me. Definitely recommend them and will use their business in the future.

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

How EnvioCore Can Help

We provide certified lead wipe sampling inspections throughout Colorado for:

  • General contractors and abatement crews
  • Property managers and landlords
  • Housing authorities and real estate agents
  • Families looking for post-renovation peace of mind

What you get with EnvioCore:

  • HUD- and EPA-certified inspectors
  • Accurate sampling and lab coordination
  • Fast lab results and documentation
  • Guidance if re-testing or remediation is needed

How It Works

  1. A 1 ft² surface area is wiped using a strict EPA pattern
  2. Each wipe is sealed, labeled, and logged in a chain-of-custody
  3. Samples are sent to a certified lab for analysis
  4. Results are returned in 2–4 business days, with rush options available
  5. Results are compared to EPA and HUD limits and marked as Pass or Fail

Preparing for the Inspection

To ensure valid testing:

  • Complete all cleaning and abatement beforehand
  • Prevent recontamination (no open windows, minimal foot traffic)
  • Provide access to all sampling zones (floors, windows, stairs)
  • Share any background info on recent work performed

Final Report Includes

  • A list of sample locations and results
  • 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

What happens if lead dust is found?

You’ll need to re-clean or abate the area and schedule a re-test before the space can be cleared for occupancy.

Who’s allowed to clean lead-contaminated dust?

Only certified professionals should handle lead dust cleanup. We can help connect you to approved teams if needed.

Can regular cleaning remove lead dust?

Not reliably. Dry sweeping or vacuuming can spread lead dust further. EPA recommends wet-cleaning methods and HEPA vacuums.

Is wipe testing required after every renovation?

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.

Can I do this myself?

DIY kits exist, but for clearance or legal purposes, wipe testing must be performed by a certified professional and analyzed in an accredited lab.

Is a passing result permanent?

No. It shows the space is clean at the time of inspection. Future activities could reintroduce lead dust.
