A Visual Inspection is a non-invasive assessment used to identify potential lead-based paint hazards in residential and commercial properties. This process involves a detailed evaluation of painted surfaces, structural conditions, and areas prone to deterioration. Lead-based paint, commonly used in buildings before 1978, can deteriorate over time, creating hazardous dust and chips that pose significant health risks, especially to children and pregnant women.

At JFD Home Solutions, our certified inspectors conduct thorough Visual Inspections to detect peeling, chipping, or cracking paint, which may indicate lead contamination. While this inspection does not include laboratory testing, it is an essential first step in determining whether further testing, such as XRF analysis or dust sampling, is necessary.

Visual Inspections are particularly important for landlords, property managers, and homeowners looking to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Many housing authorities and government programs require Visual Inspections for rental properties, renovations, and real estate transactions. By identifying risks early, property owners can take proactive measures to maintain a safe environment, prevent lead exposure, and avoid costly legal penalties.

If lead hazards are found during a Visual Inspection, JFD Home Solutions will provide professional recommendations for proper management, remediation, or additional testing to ensure safety and compliance. Whether you are preparing a property for leasing, selling, or renovation, scheduling a Visual Inspection is the first step in protecting your property and the health of its occupants.
