Your Lead Inspection
Lead paint was used in residential properties until it was banned in 1978. If you are planning to purchase a home built before 1978, a Full Risk Reduction or (FRR) inspection is recommended. This inspection is performed to Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) standards and is used to certify a rental property habitable. It is a low-cost inspection that helps identify any possible lead hazards and will ensure that lead concentrations are low enough that they don't present a health hazard to your family. Anthem Services has a certified Lead Risk Assessor on staff. This certification is the highest one can achieve in the lead inspection industry.

If you are planning to rent a property built before 1978 it is mandatory that you register the property with MDE and carry a Lead Certificate or Form 330.
Things you can do to ensure a satisfactory inspection experience include:
-
Thoroughly inspecting the exterior and interior for deteriorated paint including; walls, floors, ceilings, closets, basements, piping, door systems, exterior soffits, fascia, porch floors, porch ceilings any painted foundations and all other painted surfaces
