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.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.

Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer.

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.
