If your results show lead contamination above acceptable guidelines, the first and most important step is not to panic. Lead contamination is a serious issue but it is a manageable one when approached correctly and your professional report is designed to guide you through exactly what needs to happen next.

Your report will clearly identify which locations in your home have returned elevated results, the level of contamination detected at each location, and what that means in the context of Australian and international guidelines. Not all elevated results require the same response. A mildly elevated result in one location may require monitoring or a targeted intervention, while higher levels across multiple areas may require professional remediation.

If remediation is required Where your results indicate that professional remediation is necessary your report provides the documented evidence and location specific data that a remediation company needs to scope and carry out the work accurately and efficiently. Rather than a remediation company having to assess and test the property themselves, you arrive with a certified laboratory report that tells them exactly where the problem is and how significant it is. This makes the remediation process faster, more targeted, and more cost effective.

Medical advice for your family If lead contamination is found in your home we strongly recommend that all family members, particularly children under six and pregnant women, speak with their general practitioner about blood lead level testing. Your professional report can be taken directly to your doctor as supporting evidence of potential exposure and will assist them in determining whether further medical investigation or monitoring is required.

Reducing exposure immediately While remediation is being arranged there are practical steps you can take to reduce your family's exposure. These include keeping children away from affected areas, increasing ventilation, wet mopping rather than dry sweeping to avoid disturbing lead dust, and removing shoes at the door to prevent tracking contaminated soil inside. Your report will include guidance specific to your situation.
