Learn More »There is also a concern for the lead contained in lead-based paints used as wall coverings at the interior and exterior of older structures. Lead-based paint, which has been shown to be the cause of serious health problems, was a common substance in buildings constructed before 1978. Under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, contractors and painters are required to follow specified lead-safe work practices and to provide lead safety information to owners and tenants before they start a renovation, repairs, or painting work on pre-1978 residential housing and child-occupied facilities. On October 1, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency began enforcing a new portion of the RRP Rule that requires contractors and painters to obtain lead paint safety certification before working on pre-1978 buildings covered by the rule. To become certified, contractors and painters must attend a training course provided or approved by the EPA that provides instruction on how to work safely with lead-based paint. Owners of rental housing and maintenance workers in multi-family housing (including condominiums) must follow the requirements of the RRP Rule. However, this rule does not apply to owners working on their own property (without tenants), and it also does not apply to “minor” maintenance or repair activities. Associations and individual owners with pre-1978 homes or condominiums must be careful when hiring contractors and painters. They should ask what specific lead-safe work practices will be used, and ask to see the contractor’s or painter’s EPA certificate.

Additional testing by firms that perform these services may be desired. Additional testing such as this often requires destructive testing where materials are drilled or disturbed in order to obtain a reliable sample. This can be nearly impossible to do in the middle of a real estate transaction as you would need permission from the seller to damage their house. If there is a concern about these materials or plans for any substantial remodeling or renovation, I would recommend getting further information on this subject and having laboratory tests of suspect materials. As a general rule, expect that houses built prior to 1980 are likely to have at least some building materials that contain lead and asbestos. For more information and booklets on these subjects, you can contact these agencies if you are in the Seattle area. Similar resources likely exist throughout the country.
