Why Lead Testing Matters

Lead exposure is especially dangerous for young children and pregnant women, and it often comes from sources you'd never suspect: paint dust from old windows and doors, or drinking water passing through aging lead pipes and solder. Augusta has many beautiful historic and mid-century homes — exactly the properties where lead paint and older plumbing are most likely. Testing is the only way to know for sure.

What Our Lead Testing Includes

  • Paint testing on interior and exterior painted surfaces using EPA-recognized methods
  • Focus on high-risk areas: windows, doors, trim, porches, and siding
  • Water sampling to check for lead from pipes, solder, and fixtures
  • Pipe material identification where plumbing is accessible
  • Clear written results with practical next-step recommendations
  • Guidance on professional remediation resources

Buying an Older Home in Augusta?

Homes built before 1978 are the most likely to contain lead-based paint, and many Augusta neighborhoods — from historic districts to established suburbs — feature homes from this era. A lead test during your inspection contingency gives you facts to negotiate with, or peace of mind to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home has lead paint? The age of the home is the biggest clue — lead paint was banned for residential use in 1978. Only testing can confirm its presence and location.

Is lead in drinking water common? Older homes may have lead service lines, lead solder, or brass fixtures that leach lead into water. A lab-analyzed water sample gives you a definitive answer.

What happens if lead is found? Don't panic — lead hazards can be managed. We'll explain your results and point you toward qualified remediation professionals and EPA resources for next steps.
