Lead Testing

Make sure your family is safe from lead poisoning with lead testing

Lead is a toxic metal that can be dangerous with long term exposure, especially for young children. In children, lead exposure can impact the development of the brain and nervous system, while in adults, it can increase the risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage. Unfortunately, the dangers of lead were not always widely known, and many homes built before 1978 contain lead in the form of lead pipes, leaded paint, and more.

If you are in a home where lead may be present in the paint, pipes, or building materials, then it’s a good idea to have lead testing done. With professional lead testing, you’ll be able to identify where in your home there might be a risk of lead exposure so you can determine whether you need lead abatement.

When would you want lead testing?

  • Children: Lead is most dangerous to children, so if you have young kids, you will likely want to get your home tested for lead, especially if you live in a home built before 1978. If one of your children is diagnosed with lead poisoning, you should take proper steps to treat them and also make sure to test the home in order to identify the cause.
  • Remodel: During any remodeling project, you are bound to disturb building materials and paint. If any of the disturbed materials include lead, you could be creating dust and chips filled with lead. In order to avoid this danger, you should conduct lead testing before the remodel begins.
  • Buying a home: When you buy a new home, you’ll be given an opportunity to conduct lead testing because of federal law. You should always take advantage of this opportunity, particularly if you are buying a home built before 1978 and/or have young children.
