Older Home ScreeningBuilt before the '80s? Screen what came with it.

Homes built before the 1980s often carry two questions newer homes don't: lead in the paint and asbestos in the materials. The Older Home Screening bundles both checks into one add-on, at a better value than booking them separately, so you know before you renovate, sand, or settle in.

What's in the Bundle

The paint on the walls and the materials behind them.

Both screenings follow the same professional process as our standalone services: EPA-recognized surface testing for lead, and accredited laboratory analysis for asbestos.

01 Lead-Based Paint Screening

  • EPA-recognized surface test methods
  • Window sills, doors, trim, high-wear areas
  • Areas planned for renovation prioritized
  • Written documentation next business day
  • Guides safe renovation practices
  • Most relevant for pre-1978 homes

02 Asbestos Materials Screening

  • Two bulk samples of suspect materials
  • NVLAP-accredited laboratory analysis
  • Popcorn ceilings, flooring, insulation, siding
  • Results in about 3 to 7 business days
  • Rush lab options when available
  • Essential before demolition or remodel
Who It's For

The right screening for the era the home was built in.

If the home predates 1980, assume both questions are on the table. One bundled decision at booking answers them with documentation instead of guesses.

Buying an Older Home

Add it to your inspection and the era-specific risks get answered in the same visit, before you commit at the closing table.

Planning a Renovation

Cutting, sanding, and demo are what turn dormant materials into airborne problems. Test first, then plan the work safely and legally.

Families With Kids

Lead exposure risk is highest for young children. Screening the surfaces they touch most is a simple, protective step before move-in.

Common Questions

Answers before you book.

My home is from the 1990s. Do I need this?

Probably not. Lead paint was banned for residential use in 1978 and asbestos use declined through the 1980s. For newer homes, the Home Essentials Screening (radon plus sewer scope) is the bundle that fits.

What happens if something tests positive?

You get written documentation you can act on: manage materials in place, plan renovation-safe practices, or bring in licensed abatement professionals. Findings can also support seller negotiations.

Is this the same as the Home Health & Safety Screening?

Close cousin. The Home Health & Safety Screening covers radon, lead, and asbestos together. This bundle focuses on the two era-specific checks; pair it with radon or the Essentials bundle for the fullest picture.
