Germantown Lead Inspections
Germantown is one of the fastest-growing communities in Maryland, offering a mix of suburban comfort and older residential charm. But if your home or rental property was built before 1978, you may be at risk for lead-based paint hazards—and Maryland law may require a certified lead inspection before you rent, renovate, or sell.
Why Lead Inspections Are Important in Germantown
While many Germantown homes were built in the 1980s and beyond, pockets of older properties still exist in neighborhoods like Germantown Park, Clopper, and Neelsville. If your property was built before 1978, there’s a chance that lead-based paint was used—and that aging paint can release toxic dust and chips over time.
Lead exposure can cause:
Cognitive and developmental delays
Behavioral and learning issues in children
Nervous system and organ damage
Long-term health effects with no safe threshold
If you’re renting a home built before 1978, Maryland requires a lead inspection before you lease to a new tenant. We make that process simple.
