"We had a high lead test from our pediatrician using the heel prick. We were really concerned and did some home lead tests, but didn't find anything that was clearly responsible for our son's lead level. We found Tonya and gave her a call, and she was incredibly helpful. She offered the exact service we were looking for-- someone to come out and do an investigative look at our house, including various tests and asking us about our habits. But she also strongly encouraged us to get a blood lead test, because the heel prick tests can be faulty. On her recommendation we did that-- and the blood test came back normal! Tonya could have taken our money and preyed on our concerns for our son, but instead she gave us a lot of her time and guidance to help us make a good decision. While I hope I will never have to use her services, I would do it in a minute if we needed to figure out sources of lead!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
