FAQs

Lead Paint Testing FAQ — Illinois

Not necessarily — only laboratory testing can confirm asbestos. Popcorn ceilings were common from 1950s–1980s; many were asbestos-containing, but not all. Do not disturb it to test it — collect a small sample from an undisturbed edge (wearing gloves and a respirator) for $25–$50 lab testing, or hire an asbestos inspector to sample and test. If the ceiling is in good condition and undisturbed, it can often be safely left in place.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking. EPA action level is 4 pCi/L. Levels above 4 require mitigation. Radon mitigation (sub-slab depressurization system) is highly effective and costs $800–$2,500 installed. Post-mitigation, levels typically drop 90%+. Retest after mitigation to confirm. This is a health issue with a clear, affordable solution.

Lead paint disclosure is required by federal law for homes built before 1978, but sellers are not automatically required to abate. Typically, the parties negotiate: seller provides disclosure, buyer accepts it as-is, or seller provides a credit for future abatement. Intact lead paint in good condition (not peeling or in friction surfaces) is generally low-risk. Consult a real estate attorney for your state's specific requirements.

Removal (abatement): asbestos-containing material is completely removed by licensed abatement contractors and disposed of as hazardous waste — expensive and disruptive. Encapsulation: material is sealed with a penetrating sealant or encased in barrier material, locking in fibers — appropriate for stable material in non-friction locations. Encapsulation is less expensive and equally safe when done correctly. Only licensed inspectors should recommend which approach is appropriate.

Separation of testing and remediation is the key principle. Use one company for testing/assessment and a different company for any remediation work — just as you would for mold. Legitimate testers provide objective reports; testers who also sell remediation have financial incentive to find problems. Industrial hygienists (CIH credential) and AHERA-certified building inspectors are the appropriate credentials for asbestos assessment.

Asbestos in demolition requires notification and air monitoring under EPA/NESHAP regulations. Any building built before 1980 being demolished must be inspected for asbestos-containing materials first; regulated ACM must be removed before demolition. If you see demolition without what appears to be abatement procedures (air monitoring equipment, contained work zones, hazmat disposal), contact your local air quality management district.
