Lead paint testing inside the City of San Diego:  Both EPA and City of San Diego have requirements if
your project impacts paint with lead concentrations greater than 1.0 mg/cm   (lead-based paint).  However, some
of the City  of San Diego requirements also apply if the paint has lead concentrations greater than 0.5 mg/cm  .  
San Diego Testing considers both thresholds when analyzing and our concise reports detail which requirements
apply to each tested surface.  We use the most advanced XRF equipment and provide immediate results.
Testing and Inspection Services
Lead Clearance Testing for projects inside the City of San Diego:  The San Diego Lead Ordinance
requires clearance testing upon completion of projects that disturb lead-based paint in all structures located
within the City. A clearance inspection involves collection of dust wipe samples and possibly soil samples, both
of which have to be sent to a laboratory for analysis.  Our service includes screening of all samples collected
prior to shipment to the lab.  Samples that are unlikely to pass are identified immediately and time and
laboratory costs are saved.
Lead paint testing outside the City of San Diego:  The EPA has specific requirements if your project
impacts paint with lead concentrations greater than 1.0 mg/cm   (lead-based paint).  Currently there is no other
threshold for municipalities within San Diego County (other than City of San Diego).
