Home Lead Testing Kits

Home lead testing kits are do-it-yourself tools designed to detect the presence of lead in household surfaces, paint, water, or dust. They typically involve collecting a sample—such as a paint chip, water, or dust—using provided swabs or collectors, then applying it to a test strip or sending it to a lab. The kit indicates whether lead is present, helping homeowners identify potential health risks, especially in older homes with paint or plumbing containing lead. While useful for initial screening, confirmatory testing by professionals may be recommended for accurate results.
