Don’t Guess When It Comes to Lead Exposure
Lead is a serious health hazard—especially for children, pregnant women, and workers in older buildings. Many homes and commercial properties in San Diego still contain lead in paint, dust, soil, or water, and you may not know it’s there until it becomes a problem.
Delaying lead testing can result in:
Serious health risks for children and adults
Failed property sales or rental compliance issues
Costly delays during renovations or repairs
Ongoing stress and uncertainty about safety
You deserve clear answers from a certified professional—not confusion or delays.

Should I do my own lead testing?
While consumer lead test kits from Amazon, or other online stores, offer a low-cost, initial
screening option, their methodology is fundamentally limited compared to X-Ray Fluorescence
(XRF) analysis, which is the standard for professional risk assessment. Under California
regulations, Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations establishes that lead testing in
residential and public buildings must be performed using XRF equipment or by paint chip
sample analysis; lead test kits are not accepted. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) finds XRF analyzers acceptable for analyzing lead in paint at its
clearance level of 1.0 mg/cm², and XRF instruments used for testing must have a HUD-issued
XRF Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS).
The following table outlines the critical performance differences that make XRF the superior,
and federally and state-approved, choice for accurately detecting lead hazards in paint:
