Lead-based paint can pose serious health risks when it deteriorates, is disturbed during renovation, or is left undetected in older buildings. Identifying lead hazards is especially important in properties where children, employees, residents, or visitors may be exposed.
ERI Consulting provides lead-based paint inspections in Houston, TX, for HUD facilities, HUD-assisted properties, and target housing constructed before 1977. Our inspections examine painted surfaces throughout a property to determine whether lead-based paint is present and help clients understand any potential hazards.
Testing methods may include paint chip collection and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. These procedures must be evaluated by a qualified Lead Risk Assessor who can interpret the results and determine whether lead hazards exist.
As a Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) Accredited Lead Agency, ERI has the credentials and experience to perform thorough inspections and provide accurate findings.

Lead hazards aren't limited to residential buildings. ERI also performs lead-based paint inspections in industrial, highway, bridge, and military environments. Depending on the project, our team uses XRF technology and bulk sampling to identify lead in paint and other materials.
When lead-based paint hazards are identified, ERI's project designers can prepare remediation specifications or stabilization work plans. These documents help guide appropriate lead-based paint activities and provide a clear path for addressing identified concerns.
Lead inspections require specialized training, approved equipment, and a thorough understanding of applicable regulations. ERI Consulting employs TDSHS-accredited Lead Project Designers, Lead Risk Assessors, and Lead Inspectors.
Our team uses a NITON XRF Spectrum Analyzer XL-309 to detect lead-based paint and lead in soil. ERI also maintains current individual EPA Lead Renovator Repair and Painting accreditation in accordance with 40 CFR 745.225.
With qualified professionals and established testing procedures, we work to give property owners, facility managers, and project teams the information they need to make informed decisions about lead hazards.
Whether you're responsible for an older residential property, a HUD-assisted facility, or an industrial site, identifying lead-based paint is an important step in protecting the people who use the building or property.
