Lead Paint Inspections
for Maryland Homes
Certified lead inspections for buyers, sellers, and landlords. We identify lead hazards, ensure compliance with Maryland law, and help you protect the people who matter most.
Why Lead Testing Matters
Lead paint was banned in residential use in 1978, but millions of older homes still contain it. In Maryland, landlords are legally required to test and certify rental properties built before 1978.
- Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint.
- Lead exposure is especially dangerous for children under 6 and pregnant women.
- Maryland law requires lead testing for rental properties built before 1978.
- Lead dust from deteriorating paint is the most common exposure route.
- Proper identification prevents costly remediation surprises.
Maryland Lead Law
Maryland's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program requires landlords of pre-1978 rental properties to register with MDE and have their properties inspected and certified as meeting lead-safe standards.
InspectNex provides MDE-compliant inspections and documentation to help landlords meet their legal obligations and protect their tenants.
