Home Owners

Know What’s in Your Home. Protect What Matters Most.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a good chance it contains lead-based paint. Over time, that paint can chip, flake, or turn into dust—creating serious health risks, especially for children and pregnant women.

At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspection, we provide trusted, thorough lead inspections for Baltimore homeowners. Whether you’re buying, renovating, or simply want peace of mind, we’re here to help you understand what’s in your home—and what to do about it.

Why Lead Inspections Matter

Lead exposure isn’t always obvious—but it can have serious effects on your family’s health, including:

  • Developmental delays and learning disabilities
  • Behavioral and attention issues in children
  • Long-term health complications in adults

Our inspections give you clear, certified answers—so you can make confident decisions about your home.
