Lead Dust Sample Inspection: Protecting Your Family’s Health

Why Is Lead Inspection Critical in Philadelphia?
Thousands of Philadelphia homes—especially those built before 1978—may contain lead-based paint or dust. Even perfectly kept homes can harbor microscopic lead particles, which are dangerous to children, pregnant women, and anyone exposed over time. In Philadelphia, lead safety is not just a best practice—it’s the law for rental property owners.

Our Lead Dust Inspection Service:

Visual Inspection: We begin by visually assessing all painted surfaces for signs of damage, peeling, or flaking—red flags for possible lead exposure.
Dust Sampling: Our certified technicians take dust wipe samples from floors, windowsills, and play areas—targeting every bedroom and at least one common area where a child would be likely to play.
EPA-Approved Lab Analysis: Each sample is sent to an EPA-certified lab, ensuring accuracy and compliance with both city and federal safety standards.
Clear Results and Certification: You receive a detailed, easy-to-read report. For landlords, we provide all necessary documentation for Philadelphia’s Lead Safe/Rental License requirements.
Fast Results: Most results are available within 4-6 business days and can be expedited.
What Happens Next? If lead is detected, we provide straightforward next steps for safe remediation and, if needed, quick retesting for compliance.

Choose Fix It Fix It for lead dust inspection, and protect your loved ones—and your legal standing as a property owner—with proactive, professional oversight.

Mold Inspection: Stop Mold Growth Before It Grows Into a Problem

Why Mold Testing Is Essential
Mold is not only unsightly, but it can also cause allergies, respiratory illness, and major property damage—often hidden within walls, beneath floors, or in attics and basements. In Philly’s older and sometimes humid homes, prompt mold inspection can save you thousands in repairs and protect your health.

Our Mold Inspection Process:

Thorough Visual & Environmental Assessment: We survey every square foot for visible mold, musty smells, and any sources of moisture.
Sample Collection: We collect air and surface samples from key locations, using industry-standard methods to pinpoint even hidden contamination.
Lab Testing: Samples are analyzed by professional labs to identify mold species and their concentrations.
Easy-to-Understand Reports: You’ll receive a clear, customized report outlining the findings, health risks if present, and recommendations for safe cleanup—whether DIY or professional remediation.
Education & Prevention: Our job isn’t just finding mold, but helping you prevent it in the future. We’ll identify risk factors and offer advice to keep your property mold-free.

Whether you own or rent, mold problems require decisive action. Rely on Fix It Fix It to provide honest, thorough, and timely mold inspections across Philadelphia and neighboring communities.
