Baltimore County Lead Inspections
If you own a home or rental property in Baltimore County built before 1978, there’s one crucial step you can’t afford to skip: a certified lead inspection. At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspections, we provide fast, reliable, and fully licensed lead testing services across the entire county—from Towson and Catonsville to Dundalk, Essex, Parkville, and beyond.
Why Lead Inspections Matter in Baltimore County
Thousands of homes in Baltimore County were built before the 1978 federal ban on lead-based paint. When that paint begins to chip or turn to dust, it can cause serious health problems—especially for children under 6 and pregnant women.
According to the CDC, exposure to lead can result in:
- Developmental delays and lower IQ
- Learning and behavioral problems
- Nervous system and kidney damage
- Long-term effects with no safe level of exposure
Maryland law requires lead inspections for most pre-1978 rental properties. Even if you’re not required by law, a lead inspection is one of the best ways to protect your family and investment.
Who Needs a Lead Inspection in Baltimore County?
You may be required—or strongly advised—to get a lead inspection if:
- Your rental property was built before 1978
- You’re preparing for new tenants
- You’re buying or selling an older home
- You’re planning to renovate, repaint, or repair painted surfaces
- You’re applying for rental assistance programs (HUD, Section 8)
