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
2   
(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/cm2.  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 immedi
ate results.

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 a visual inspection and collection of
dust wipe samples and possibly soil samples, which have to be sent to a laboratory for analysis.  
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
2 (lead-based paint).  Currently there is
no other threshold for municipalities within San Diego County (other than City of San Diego).
Terms:  Net 30 days (from date of invoice).  Credit cards and checks accepted.
Consulting Services:  Work plans and site surveillance for asbestos, lead, and mold abatement
projects.
Asbestos Testing:  Conducted by a certified asbestos consultant.  Significant cost savings can be
achieved if both lead testing and asbestos testing are conducted at the same time.  Please call for
details.
