Q: How much does a lead inspection cost?

• <div><p>You can expect to pay between <b>$200 and $400</b> for a lead inspection, where your <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/lead-testing/">local lead testing pro</a> will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around <b>$800 to $2,000</b>. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to see test results?

• <div><p>A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won&rsquo;t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. </p></div>

Q: What is the acceptable amount of lead in drinking water?

• <div><p>According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

• <div><p>No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.</p></div>
