What Is XRF Lead Paint Testing?

XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) lead testing is a quick, non-invasive method to detect lead-based paint in walls, trim, doors, windows, and more—without damaging the surface. It’s the gold standard for pre-renovation inspections in properties built before 1978, helping you stay compliant with the EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule and HUD guidelines.
 
If you’re disturbing painted surfaces in older buildings, this test is your first line of defense.

When Do You Need an XRF Lead Inspection?

You’ll likely need XRF lead testing if:

  • Your renovation affects painted surfaces in a pre-1978 building
  • You’re remodeling homes, apartments, or child-occupied spaces
  • You’re bidding on HUD-funded housing projects
  • You want to document compliance for EPA or CDPHE oversight
  • You’re renovating with young children, pregnant individuals, or tenants present

Even light work—like replacing a window or sanding trim—can release dangerous lead dust.

Why Choose XRF?

Instant Results  

No waiting days for a lab. We deliver on-the-spot results, so you can keep your renovation moving.

Non-Destructive  

No drilling, scraping, or peeling. XRF scans through the paint layers and gives you an accurate readout without any damage.

Fully Compliant  

Satisfies EPA, HUD, and Colorado CDPHE regulations for lead-safe renovation planning.

Where Is Lead-Based Paint Common?

Lead paint isn’t just on the walls. We commonly find it in:

  • Window frames, door trim, and stair railings
  • Built-in cabinets and shelving
  • Walls, ceilings, and soffits
  • Exterior siding, porches, and eaves
  • Commercial-grade doors and structural steel

If your building predates 1978, assume it’s a possibility—and test to be sure.

What Happens If Lead Is Present?

If our inspection shows lead-based paint in the renovation zone, you have two options:

  1. Use EPA-certified RRP-safe work practices
  2. Hire a licensed lead abatement contractor

Either way, our report gives you a clear roadmap for compliance and safety—no guessing, no risky shortcuts.

How XRF Testing Works

  • The inspector uses a handheld XRF gun to scan surfaces
  • The device reads the atomic signature of lead within paint layers
  • Results show immediately on the screen
  • No paint removal or physical samples needed

Our devices are calibrated daily, and all tests are conducted by EPA-certified and CDPHE-accredited inspectors.

Health Risks of Lead Paint Disturbance

Lead dust can be toxic even in tiny amounts. It’s especially harmful to:

  • Children under 6 – can suffer brain damage, learning delays, and behavioral issues
  • Pregnant women – risk of miscarriage or fetal development problems
  • Adults – may experience high blood pressure, kidney issues, or memory loss

Most lead poisoning symptoms are invisible. That’s why prevention through testing is essential.

What to Expect During Your Inspection

Our process is straightforward:

  • Review renovation plans and identify impact areas
  • Use XRF device to scan suspect surfaces
  • Mark positive zones to guide your contractor
  • Provide clear documentation for your records and regulators

Preparing for Your Visit

To keep the inspection smooth:

  • Share your renovation scope or areas being disturbed
  • Ensure access to both interior and exterior surfaces
  • Don’t sand, prep, or paint over suspect areas before testing
  • Let tenants or occupants know in advance if needed

Your Final Report Includes:

  • Lead status for each surface tested (positive or negative)
  • Notes on condition and materials
  • Recommendations based on EPA and HUD standards
  • Color-coded visuals (if mapping is requested)

We deliver your report the same day in most cases, so you can act fast.


XRF Renovation Q&A

What is XRF lead testing and how does it work?

It uses low-level X-rays to detect lead in paint—non-destructively, with immediate results.

Is XRF safe for people and pets?

Yes. The radiation level is extremely low and poses no risk to occupants.

Do I need XRF testing if I already know there’s paint?

Yes—because you don’t know if it contains lead. EPA requires confirmation before disturbance.

How long does it take?

Most inspections take under 2 hours. Reports are sent the same day.

What if lead is found?

We’ll explain your next steps—whether that means RRP-safe practices or licensed abatement.
