Free Lead Test Kit

Do you live in a home that was built before 1950? And do you have young children, or are you expecting a new baby?

If you answered yes to both these questions, order a free lead dust test kit. This easy test is a great way to find out if you have dust from lead paint in your home so you can take some simple steps to keep your child safe from lead.

The kit is simple to use and takes about ten minutes to do. Watch a video on how to do the test .
The kit and results are completely free of charge.
Results will be mailed to you in about 2 weeks.
An expert will call you if you have a lead dust problem and talk with you about what to do to solve it.
