• <div><p>Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

Q: Are at-home lead tests accurate?

• <div><p>At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.</p></div>
