I purchased my 1st home in May 2026, and PTI came highly recommended for my home inspection. They were so thorough and easily lived up to their reputation. They caught so many things and saved me so much money before closing. I'm incredibly thankful for the team and would definitely recommend them for other home owners.

FAQ
Lead Testing FAQ
Common questions about lead testing in DMV.
Yes, testing before renovation is strongly recommended for any Northern Virginia home built before 1978. Renovation work that disturbs painted surfaces can release lead dust, which is a health hazard for your household.
In Virginia, only licensed professionals can perform certifiable lead inspections and risk assessments. Homeowners, landlords, and sellers of pre-1978 properties in Northern Virginia benefit most from scheduling a professional test.
Our lead testing covers paint, dust, and soil samples at your Northern Virginia property. Each test follows Virginia and EPA standards, and you receive a written report with all findings.
Yes, documented test results support your required lead disclosure when selling a pre-1978 home in Northern Virginia. Federal law requires sellers to disclose known lead hazards to buyers before a contract is signed.
Landlords in Northern Virginia must disclose known lead hazards in writing before a tenant signs a lease on a pre-1978 property. Professional lead testing creates the documentation needed to meet that disclosure requirement.
Any home in Northern Virginia built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, with older homes carrying a higher likelihood. A professional lead inspection is the only reliable way to confirm whether lead is present.
