Why Lead-Safe Matters Here
Cleveland Has Older Housing. That Means Higher Lead Risk.
Most homes built before 1978 in Cleveland and Cleveland Heights still contain lead-based paint. When that paint chips, peels, or turns into dust, children can inhale or swallow it — leading to lifelong learning and behavior challenges.
- Children under 6 are the most vulnerable to lead exposure
- Lead hazards are often invisible — especially in dust
- City of Cleveland and Cleveland Heights have lead-safe laws for rentals
- A proactive inspection lets you fix issues before they become crises
Our inspections help you understand exactly where hazards exist and what to do next — in plain language, with documentation you can share with contractors, tenants, or your pediatrician.
“We knew our house was old, but we didn’t realize how much lead dust was around the windows where our kids played. The report was clear and told us exactly what to fix.”

“They made something scary feel manageable.”
“When we found out our toddler had elevated lead levels, we were overwhelmed. The inspector walked through every room with us, explained what to look for, and made sure we understood the report. Within a few weeks we had repairs done and felt safe staying in our home.”

Questions, Answered
Lead Inspection FAQ for Cleveland Homeowners
How long does a typical lead inspection take?
Most single-family homes and duplexes in Cleveland or Cleveland Heights take 1–2 hours for the on-site portion, depending on size and the number of samples collected. We’ll give you a more specific estimate once we know more about your property.
Do I need to leave the home during the inspection?
In most cases you can stay home during the inspection. We may ask that children and pets stay out of the rooms we’re testing until we’re finished, just to keep everyone safe and out of the way of our equipment.
Will this inspection make my home “lead-free” or just “lead-safe”?
Most older homes cannot realistically be made 100% lead-free without major renovation. Our goal is to identify and reduce hazards so your home is lead-safe — meaning the risk of exposure is significantly lowered when you follow the recommended steps.
Can you help me understand local rental or lead-safe requirements?
Yes. While we don’t provide legal advice, we stay informed about Cleveland and Cleveland Heights lead-safe ordinances and common rental requirements. We can explain how your inspection results may relate to those programs and point you toward official resources.
What happens after I get my report?
Your report will outline any hazards, along with practical recommendations. Some repairs you may handle yourself with safe work practices; others may require a contractor. We’re happy to answer follow-up questions so you feel confident about your next steps.
