Charlotte Realtors and Charlotte Real Estate Agents Want You to Know More About Lead Paint Testing and the Lead Paint Disclosure Laws!

Get The Lead Out is the leading lead-based paint testing and removal company in Charlotte.  We work closely with individual GTLO Twitter Logo homeowners, apartment communities, government housing agencies, individual Charlotte realtors and Charlotte real estate agents to help educate homeowners and renters about lead-based paint and lead paint disclosure laws.

Congress passed the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as Title X, to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil. Section 1018 of this law directed HUD and EPA to require the disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or lease of most housing built before 1978.

Why is this important in Charlotte?  Because we have thousands of homes, condos, townhomes and apartment communities that were built before 1978!  And Get The Lead Out has performed thousands of lead paint testing and lead removal jobs on older homes around Charlotte.  We work with Charlotte realtors and Charlotte real estate agents to help them understand about the laws protecting homeowners and renters about the hidden dangers of lead-based paint and lead paint.

HUD Logo The US Department of Housing and Urban Development works hard to help educate the community about lead paint.  See their latest brochure on protecting your family from the dangers of lead-based paint.

Also visit the US Department of Housing and Urban Development website for more information on the Lead Paint Disclosure Laws and how they exist to protect homeowners and renters.

Get The Lead Out in Charlotte can help Charlotte realtors and Charlotte real estate agents in complying with the Lead Paint Disclosure Laws as well with lead paint testing services should there be a need.  Call Get The Lead Out at 704-376-3594 or email peteh@gettheleadout.biz.
