HUD-Approved Lead Paint Risk Assessments

Lead Paint Clearances

Protecting Our Communities: Ensuring Safe Homes for Families

In Chicago, more than 85% of the existing housing stock was built before 1978, a time when lead-based paints were commonly used. This widespread exposure poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as families with young children and pregnant women. At SOUL Community Builders, we are committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of our community members through comprehensive Lead Paint Risk Assessments and Post Renovation Clearance Reports.

What We Offer

At SCB, our team of certified professionals conducts detailed Lead Paint Risk Assessments that involve:

- Comprehensive Inspections: We examine your property to identify lead-based paint hazards and other risk factors.

- Clear Actionable Reports: We provide clear and understandable reports that detail our findings, helping you make informed decisions about necessary remediation.

Following renovations or repairs, our Post Renovation Clearance Reports ensure that all lead hazards have been effectively managed, and that your home is safe for occupancy. These reports include:

- Verification Testing: We conduct dust and surface wipe tests to confirm that lead levels are within safe limits after work is completed.

- Compliance Documentation: Our reports adhere to HUD guidelines, ensuring you have the proper documentation for compliance purposes.

Who Needs Lead Paint Risk Assessments?

If you live in an older home, you may be at risk for lead exposure, which can lead to serious health issues. Our services are crucial for:

- Families with Young Children: Children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning, which can cause developmental delays and cognitive impairments. Protect your child's future by ensuring your home is lead-safe.

- Expectant Mothers: Prenatal exposure to lead can adversely affect fetal development. If you're pregnant, safeguarding your home environment is essential for your health and the health of your baby.

- Homeowners Undergoing Renovations: Planning to renovate an older property? Lead hazards must be addressed before, during, and after construction to protect residents and workers alike.

- Renters and Landlords: If you are renting in an older building, or if you are a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure your property is free from lead hazards. Our assessments help you understand and manage these risks effectively.
