Frederick Lead Inspections
Frederick is known for its beautiful brick rowhomes, historic districts, and charming older neighborhoods—but with that character comes responsibility. If your property in Frederick was built before 1978, there’s a good chance it may contain lead-based paint—and that means a lead inspection may be legally required before you rent or renovate.
Why Lead Inspections Are Essential in Frederick
Frederick’s historic charm is one of its biggest assets—but many homes in the city, especially in neighborhoods like Baker Park, Downtown Frederick, and the Golden Mile, were built long before lead paint was banned in 1978.
When lead-based paint deteriorates, it turns into toxic dust that can seriously affect the health of children and pregnant women. According to the CDC, lead exposure can cause:
Learning and developmental delays
Behavioral issues and attention problems
Brain and nervous system damage
Permanent harm, especially in children under 6
