About CertifyPro

CertifyPro is listed in Philadelphia for air quality testing, with four years in business and a team of two. Hours are 8:00 am to 6:00 pm every day. The specific testing on its listing is lead, for residential and commercial properties.

Lead is a serious concern in Philadelphia, which has one of the oldest housing stocks in the country. Most homes built before 1978 have some lead-based paint, often under newer layers on windows, doors, trim and porches, and the dust created when that paint wears or is disturbed is the main source of lead exposure for children. Testing can look at paint, dust on floors and windowsills, soil and sometimes air during or after renovation work. Philadelphia's lead law requires landlords to show that many rental units are lead-safe or lead-free before a lease is signed when children under six may live there, which drives much of the testing in the city.

Testing is also wise before renovation in an older home, since sanding, scraping or demolishing painted surfaces releases lead dust. Federal rules require contractors working on pre-1978 homes to follow lead-safe practices.

When you contact CertifyPro, give the property address, its age and type, the reason for testing, such as a rental requirement or planned renovation, and whether children live there. Ask what samples will be taken, how results are reported and how long the lab takes to return them.
