more specifically, is it worth it to get the house tested as part of a buyer's inspection? -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:01 9
- Oh heck yes. It should be a part of the inspection! -- nm - lileve Mar 2, 08:19
- Yes if it's a problem in your area. If you don't get it tested it's all on you when it's found. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 08:10
- i would say yes. but only if it isnt a high cost - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:03 4
  - yeah, it's inexpensive I do think. it was a part of my home inspection. no longer? -- nm - jones Mar 2, 08:04 3
    - will ask. - znufrii Mar 2, 08:11
    - honestly, i think it depends on the Inspector. - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:07 1
      - would only apply to homes over a certain age. -- nm - zork Mar 2, 08:08
- depends on the age of the home and the area -- nm - decline Mar 2, 08:02
- It is a known problem with houses of that age in your area? How much does the test cost? Will the seller cover it? -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 08:02
bad stuff. do any work on the place and neighbours could have things shut down if any paint chips blow over, then you have to deal with - zork Mar 2, 07:59
I only have experience with follower paint issues. -- nm - nubby Mar 2, 07:58
oh no. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:56
Remediation sucks and it's expensive. There's a huge lead paint problem here in the STL. - spamlet Mar 2, 07:54 1
- I had it in my house in allentown. there, it was like, "oh lead paint. the seller's on that for you." I didn't even have to ask. -- nm - jones Mar 2, 07:56
It's ultra expensive to get rid of in a legal manner. I have not dealt with it though. -- nm - lileve Mar 2, 07:53
the chips might be tasty, but they're bad for you. -- nm - mafic Mar 2, 07:52 2
- do we all know that my stepbrother jimmy had lead paint poisoning? - jones Mar 2, 07:55 1
  - yikes. my brother huffed some lead paint - so he had to take pills or something. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 2, 07:58
