Should you buy a house with lead based paint?

The possibility remains if the house you choose to purchase has lead paint if it was built before 1978 unless it was renovated after that year. Sellers will also inform you if they know they have lead paint on their property.

If you intend to sell your house, disclosure of your knowledge of the presence of lead paint is legally necessary. Sales and applications of lead paint were banned in the United States in 1978. Homes older than this may still have lead present though.

What is involved?

Several mold testing requires taking either air or a surface sample. Basically, a mold inspector “checks” the air or surface to decide what kind of mold occurs and/or if the mold found will grow in the area being examined.
