Everything you need to know before you book.
Lead-safe compliance relies on EPA-approved dust wipe sampling, which means collecting samples from floors, windowsills, and window troughs to measure lead levels in micrograms per square foot. Norristown, Philadelphia, and East Lansdowne require this test for rental license applications and renewals. Visual inspections and swab tests are not accepted substitutes.
On-site testing typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the unit. From there, samples are shipped to our lab — usually arriving within 1 business day, or 2 days if shipped over a weekend. Once the lab receives your samples, certified results are ready within 72 hours (24 hour rush results from lab receipt are also available). Total time from testing day to certified results typically runs 4–6 business days depending on shipping.
Under current EPA Dust-Lead Action Level standards, floors must test at or below 5 µg/ft², windowsills at or below 40 µg/ft², and window troughs at or below 100 µg/ft². CertifyPro uses only EPA-approved accredited laboratories for all analysis.
Yes, if you'd like us to. We submit your certificate to the Philadelphia portal, or email it to Norristown, so you never have to handle the city paperwork yourself. Just ask when you book.
If your property doesn't pass clearance, we'll walk you through remediation options and next steps. We're transparent about your results and timeline from the start — no surprises buried in a report.
Yes. We serve licensed child care facilities and family day cares operating in pre-1978 buildings across Philadelphia and surrounding municipalities. Licensing timelines for child care facilities are strict — reach out early so a delay doesn't put your license at risk. See our Child Care Facilities page for details.
Yes. Schools and licensed day cares caring for 13 or more children are required to test all potable water outlets for lead and submit results to the Department of Public Health. We offer water outlet testing alongside our standard lead-safe compliance sampling, so facilities can handle both requirements in a single visit.
We are based in Norristown and also serve Philadelphia and East Lansdowne, along with surrounding municipalities in Delaware and Montgomery County, PA. Contact us if you're unsure whether we cover your area — we're actively expanding.
