Do all homes built before 1978 have lead paint? When selling or buying a property built before 1978 there is a lead paint disclosure that is mandatory by the State of MA. If the Seller never tested for lead, they cannot say for sure if the property has lead or not. They mark as unknown and the buyer has to acknowledge that my initialing and signing the lead paint disclosure.

If the house was built after 1960s, there is a chance that there isn’t a dangerous level of lead in the property, since paint manufacturers slowly started to get away from using lead in the paint in the 60s.

How to make your house lead compliant? First, do a lead inspection. An inspection will check the surfaces inside and outside your home to let you know if and where lead paint is located. Lead paint that is in good condition, and can remain undisturbed, is not necessarily considered a hazard. A risk assessment, on the other hand, will let you know if there are lead paint hazards.

In this video I show you how modern lead inspection companies test for lead. The radioactive technology goes through several layers of paint and gives you numbers in seconds. Anything less than 1.0 is considered safe.
The lead inspector might find places where the lead level exceeds safe levels, they will give you recommendations on how to deal with it – you can have a lead-paint removal company remove and strip it down to the wood or it can be encapsulated with special paint.

Having a lead compliance report and letter is a great idea if you have a property that you want to rent out. Dangers of lead poisoning are huge especially for young children ages 6 months to 4 years who are crawling or playing on the floor and might be ingesting little particles of lead paint.
