As a contractor, the presence (or absence) of lead paint or asbestos containing materials in a facility that you will be working at will determine the way you perform your work, the amount of your contract, and the amount of liability you’ll take on.
As a homeowner, lead paint and asbestos testing is not typically part of a home inspection, but it may be present in homes built prior to 1978 and likely present in pre-1960 homes. Before any remodeling or renovation projects begin It is important to have your home tested for the presence of lead and asbestos.
Real estate professionals have the privilege of guiding their clients through what is likely the largest financial transaction in most people’s lives. Discovering and ensuring that buyers (and sellers) understand the actual condition of the home or property they are interested in purchasing is at the core of representing buyer and seller best interests. Help your clients ensure their decision is both a safe and financially smart decision. Encourage your clients to have pre-1978 properties inspected for lead paint and asbestos.
