Testing for Lead

Testing for lead can be done in several ways, each with a specific purpose. Lead inspections are performed by lead professionals who use various methods of sampling techniques to determine the presence of lead and lead hazards. Homeowners can hire a lead professional to test for lead in paint, dust, soil and water. Homeowners may also test for lead themselves in their own homes.
