Waldorf Lead Inspections
If you own a home or rental property in Waldorf, Maryland—especially one built before 1978—you may be required by law to complete a certified lead inspection. At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspections, we help homeowners, landlords, buyers, and contractors throughout Waldorf ensure that their properties are safe, lead-free, and legally compliant.
Why Lead Inspections Matter in Waldorf
Although Waldorf has grown rapidly over the past few decades, many homes and rental properties still date back to the 1960s and 70s—before the federal ban on lead-based paint. As that paint deteriorates, it can create dangerous dust and chips that pose serious health risks.
Lead exposure can result in:
Developmental and learning delays in children
Behavioral and attention problems
Damage to the brain, kidneys, and nervous system
Irreversible effects—even at low levels
That’s why the State of Maryland requires lead inspections for most rental properties built before 1978—and why every homebuyer or renovator should take precautions before starting work.
