Cleveland & Northeast Ohio XRF testing

XRF lead-paint inspections for homes, multifamily, and commercial properties.

We use XRF testing in homes, apartment and multifamily buildings, and commercial properties to determine whether lead-based paint is present and document where it is located.

Property Watch is included for Cleveland certificate work.

Every Cleveland Lead Safe inspection or clearance examination completed by CLEInspection includes Property Watch through the property’s two-year certification period—a $198 value.

Property Watch monitors selected records and deadlines. It does not guarantee that a property remains physically lead-safe or replace official notices and owner responsibilities.

01

Systematic component testing

Painted components are tested throughout the property according to the inspection scope and applicable protocol.

02

Immediate instrument readings

The XRF analyzer provides readings without removing large paint samples or damaging each tested surface.

03

Lead-paint location report

The report identifies tested components and documents where lead-based paint was and was not detected.

04

Use within the correct scope

XRF may be part of a broader Lead Inspection Risk Assessment, including Cleveland's 20-year inspection path.

CLEInspection serves Cleveland, Greater Cleveland, and Northeast Ohio. Send the property address to confirm the correct inspection and service area before scheduling.

What does an XRF lead-paint inspection show?

An XRF inspection documents tested building components and identifies where lead-based paint was and was not detected within the inspection scope.

Is XRF testing destructive?

The XRF analyzer takes readings through painted surfaces, so a large paint sample does not need to be removed from every tested component.

Does every Cleveland property need XRF testing?

No. The correct scope depends on the property and the reason for testing. Some projects need a risk assessment, some need XRF paint testing, and some require a combined inspection.

Can XRF testing cover multiple units?

Yes, but multi-unit XRF work requires a written scope and quote because the number of painted components and required testing can vary substantially by unit and building.
