Test it before you disturb it.
Older homes hide two invisible hazards: lead paint and asbestos. Both are harmless until they’re disturbed — then a remodel, repair, or demo can release them into the air. We provide accurate, affordable, quick-turnaround testing for homeowners, buyers, sellers, realtors, and contractors across all of Oregon.
Hides in old building materials
Ceiling spray, floor tile, linoleum, insulation, joint compound, stucco, and roofing — harmless until disturbed.
Common before 1978
A toxic metal in old interior and exterior paint. The only way to know it’s there is to test.
Invisible until it’s in the air.
Asbestos fibers cause serious lung disease when inhaled, and lead dust is toxic when ingested or breathed — especially for children. Neither is a risk sitting undisturbed behind a wall or under a floor. The danger comes the moment a renovation, repair, or demolition breaks the material open. Testing first tells you what you’re dealing with before a project puts it in the air.

Asbestos
Disturbing suspect materials can dislodge asbestos fibers and release them into the air. Before you disturb anything you suspect, it’s worth testing a sample first. Common asbestos-containing materials include:
Lead-based paint
Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems if it’s ingested or if dust containing lead is inhaled. Until 1978, when federal rules restricted it, lead was a common component of both interior and exterior house paint.
If your home was built before 1978, the only way to know whether lead paint is present is to have it tested.
Sample, lab, answer.
We collect a sample of the suspect material safely — before anyone disturbs it and releases fibers or dust into the air.
The sample goes to an accredited lab for precise analysis — a real answer, not a guess from a hardware-store kit.
You get a clear report telling you what’s present, so you and your contractor can plan the safe next step.
