Gaithersburg Lead Inspections
Why Lead Inspections Matter in Gaithersburg
Lead-based paint was banned in residential construction in 1978—but many homes and apartments in Gaithersburg were built before then, especially in neighborhoods like Emory Grove, Laytonsville, and East Deer Park. When this paint peels or deteriorates, it can release toxic lead dust that’s especially dangerous for:
Young children
Pregnant women
Older adults with health issues
That’s why Maryland requires lead inspections for most pre-1978 rentals, and why homeowners and buyers should take proactive steps to assess and address lead hazards.
