Columbia Lead Inspections


Why Lead Inspections Matter in Columbia
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes prior to 1978. When that paint begins to peel, chip, or create dust, it becomes a serious health hazard—especially for children under 6 and pregnant women.
Lead exposure can cause:
Learning and behavioral problems
Developmental delays
Damage to the brain and nervous system
Long-term health issues with no safe threshold
Even in a community like Columbia with newer development, some homes—especially in older villages—may still contain lead-based hazards. If your property was built before 1978, a lead inspection is your first line of defense.
