Lead is a naturally occur soft and heavy metal. Over the years lead has been mined and used in many products that were found in and around our homes and buildings. Exposure to lead should be avoided since it is highly toxic to humans, especially young children.

Lead in many household products has been banned or its use limited in many parts of the world over the last several decades. Despite these laws there are millions of homes and buildings across the nation that was constructed prior to these regulations.

The risk associated with lead comes from occupants inhaling, ingesting or drinking lead contaminated materials. In some circumstances if the lead has not been aerosolized, and is not chipping or flaking, there may be minimal risk to people. It is when lead containing products are disturbed or begin to decay that they typically pose the greatest risk to health.

Lead is typically impossible for occupants and building owners to detect using their normal senses. Affordable testing procedures are available by qualified professionals and accredited laboratories to determine if lead is present.
