Silver Spring Lead Inspections
If your home or rental property in Silver Spring was built before 1978, there’s a good chance it contains lead-based paint—and that could pose a serious health risk. At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspections, we provide fully certified lead inspections for homes, rentals, and renovations throughout Silver Spring and surrounding areas.
Why Lead Inspections Matter in Silver Spring
Silver Spring’s blend of historic charm and urban development means that many properties—especially in neighborhoods like Woodside, Long Branch, and Montgomery Hills—were built before the federal ban on lead-based paint in 1978. Over time, aging paint can chip, crack, or turn into toxic dust.
Developmental delays and learning problems in children
Behavioral and attention disorders
Permanent brain and nervous system damage
Serious health risks to pregnant women and infants
Maryland requires lead inspections for most rental properties built before 1978, and the best way to protect your home and tenants is with certified lead testing.
