Lead Services

ECG provides a variety of professional environmental services related to lead contamination:
  • Lead-based paint testing is conducted to determine the presence and location of lead-containing paint within a particular facility.
  • Testing water from your drinking water outlets is important. While public water supplies may meet all public health standards for lead, elevated concentrations may exist due to lead-contaminated plumbing components in your facility.
  • Airborne lead testing is conducted to ensure that lead levels in the work area meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

For all lead projects, ECG utilizes Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)-licensed lead inspectors and lead risk assessors. We have conducted hundreds of Section 8 lead-based paint inspections and lead-wipe clearance tests in full compliance with HUD regulations. We have also conducted hundreds of lead-based paint inspections utilizing ECG’s x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument in compliance with HUD regulations.
