When is Lead Testing Required?

Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes built before 1978. Testing may be required or recommended for:

  • Real estate transactions involving pre-1978 properties
  • Renovation or remodeling projects
  • Demolition activities
  • Child-occupied facilities (schools, daycare centers)
  • HUD-funded housing programs
  • Suspected lead exposure or poisoning

Lead exposure can cause serious health effects, particularly in children, including developmental delays, learning difficulties, and neurological damage.
