Lead Testing: Dust, Soil & Lead-Based Paint (LBP)
Lead can sometimes be present in paint, dust or soil. The only way to know for sure whether or not lead is present is to test for it. This is done by taking a sample of the paint, dust or soil and sending it to a laboratory for evaluation. Lead-Based Paint Testing is generally performed in homes and other properties that were built prior to 1978.
The cost of testing paint, dust or soil for lead is:
- $200 per sample (no minimum), or
- $150 per sample if done in conjunction with a home inspection or other service
To identify the presence of lead in water, you will need a Water Quality Test (Level II or Level III).

Lead testing is especially important if you are pregnant and/or have children. Glasses with cartoon characters painted on them, painted plates, lunchboxes, crayons, chalk, stickers and toys can all contain unsafe levels of lead.
