Lead-Based Paint Inspections in New Jersey

For Landlords, Homeowners & Renovations

If your property was built prior to 1978, there is a strong likelihood that lead-based paint may be present. Whether you are a landlord staying compliant, a homeowner looking for peace of mind, or planning a renovation, understanding the presence of lead is critical to protecting both people and property.

At DASET Home Inspections, we provide Lead-Safe and Lead-Free testing services using professional methods that meet New Jersey requirements—while helping you make informed, long-term decisions.

Lead-Safe vs. Lead-Free: What’s the Difference?

Lead-Safe Certification (Landlord only requirement)

Identifies lead hazards such as chipping, peeling, or deteriorated paint
Meets New Jersey compliance requirements for rental properties
Valid for Three years
Requires ongoing re-inspections

👉Landlord requirement: Meeting state requirements for rental properties

Lead-Free Certification (XRF Testing)

Uses advanced XRF technology to detect lead within painted surfaces
Confirms whether areas are free of lead-based paint
Valid for the life of the structure (interior)
Eliminates the need for repeat inspections

👉 Best for: Long-term protection, reduced liability, and peace of mind

Why Lead-Free Testing Is the Smarter Long-Term Option

Many property owners choose Lead-Free Testing because it:

✅ Eliminates recurring inspection requirements
✅ Reduces long-term liability and uncertainty
✅ Provides documentation for resale and tenant records
✅ Simplifies property management
✅ Helps protect occupants—especially children—from potential exposure

For Homeowners & Renovations: Know Before You Open Walls

Renovating an older home without testing for lead can release hazardous lead dust during sanding, cutting, or demolition. This dust can spread throughout the home and pose serious health risks.

Lead-Free Testing allows you to:

Identify lead before renovation begins
Plan safely with contractors
Avoid unnecessary exposure during construction
Make informed decisions about remediation or scope of work

👉 Ideal for: Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, additions, or any project involving painted surfaces
