About Us
Lead Dust Sampling Technician
Lead dust sampling technician services in Philadelphia play a vital role in ensuring the health and safety of residents, particularly in older homes and buildings. Due to the city’s rich historical architecture and large inventory of pre-1978 housing (the year lead-based paint was banned for residential use in the U.S.), Philadelphia has a heightened risk of lead exposure—especially for young children.
Why Choose Us
What is a Lead Dust Sampling Technician?
A Lead Dust Sampling Technician (LDST) is a certified professional trained to collect surface dust samples from residential or child-occupied facilities. These samples are analyzed to determine the presence and concentration of lead dust, which can result from deteriorating lead-based paint or unsafe renovation practices. The technician’s findings are essential for:
Clearance testing after renovation or lead abatement
Rental property compliance with city regulations
Home inspections prior to sale or purchase
Protecting children under 6 years old from lead poisoning
Visual Inspection
• Analyze municipal zoning district requirements and allowable land uses • Assess spatial constraints (setbacks, lot coverage, height limits) • Identify variances, conditional uses, or zoning amendments necessary for your project
Dust Wipe Sampling
Using pre-moistened wipes, samples are collected from floors and windowsills.
Lab Analysis Coordination
Samples are sent to an EPA-accredited laboratory for lead content analysis.
Reporting and Certification
Based on the results, the technician issues either a “Lead Safe” or “Lead Free” certificate, or outlines remediation needs if thresholds are exceeded.
Guidance for Property Owners
Recommendations for safe work practices and remediation options if lead hazards are present.
