Fast, Dependable Results when it Matters the Most
What Is Whole-House XRF Lead Testing?
Whole-house lead inspections with XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) are the most efficient way to test every painted surface—inside and out—for the presence of lead-based paint. Using handheld XRF analyzers, EnvioCore’s certified inspectors scan dozens or hundreds of surfaces quickly, safely, and without any damage to your home.
This inspection is ideal during real estate transactions, tenant turnover, daycare licensing, or pre-renovation projects, especially in homes built before 1978.

When Should You Schedule a Whole-House Lead Inspection?
Consider full-property lead testing when:
- Buying or selling a home built before 1978
- Preparing a rental unit or HUD-assisted property
- Repainting or remodeling an entire interior/exterior
- Conducting an adoption home study or daycare approval
- A child has tested with an elevated blood lead level (EBLL)
- You need to meet EPA, HUD, or local compliance standards
Fast, Accurate, and Non-Invasive
Instant Results
No waiting days for a lab—our XRF devices deliver results on-site, allowing you to plan renovations or address issues immediately.
No Damage The process leaves no marks, chips, or holes. It’s 100% non-invasive, so your paint and finishes stay intact.
Where Is Lead-Based Paint Usually Found?
Lead-based paint may be present in:
- Window trim and sashes
- Doors, baseboards, and stair railings
- Walls, ceilings, and built-ins
- Porches, columns, and siding
- Garages, fences, and outbuildings
This inspection ensures all painted surfaces are screened—not just high-traffic areas—so nothing slips through the cracks.
Why Whole-House Testing Matters
Unlike spot testing or small-scope inspections, a full-property scan gives you:
- A complete map of all lead-positive components
- Peace of mind before renovations or occupancy
- Legal protection in real estate or tenant disputes
- Confidence that no hidden risks are overlooked
- Documentation for HUD, Section 8, or EPA compliance
Regulation 19 & EPA RRP Requirements
Under Colorado Regulation 19 and the EPA’s RRP Rule, testing or lead-safe practices are required when disturbing:
- Over 6 sq. ft. of interior or 20 sq. ft. of exterior painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes
- Any painted surface in HUD-assisted or child-occupied facilities
- Buildings housing a child with an elevated blood lead level (EBLL)
If you skip testing, you must assume the paint contains lead—which limits what contractors can do. XRF testing removes that guesswork.
What If Lead-Based Paint Is Found?
If we detect lead, you’ll receive:
- Clear labeling of affected components
- Guidance on RRP-safe renovation or required abatement
- Contacts for licensed lead abatement contractors (if needed)
- Full compliance documentation for agencies or insurers
Only certified professionals can legally remove or permanently abate lead hazards. EnvioCore helps you understand your legal obligations and next steps.
