Lead Testing Kits

Test for lead in dust, paint chips, and surfaces with the same sampling methods used by licensed lead inspectors and EPA-certified RRP contractors. Our DIY Lead Testing Kits include dust wipe sampling supplies and paint chip collection materials, plus a prepaid FedEx return label for overnight shipping to the laboratory. Results are delivered to your email — typically same day the lab receives your samples.

Lead exposure is most common in homes built before 1978, when lead-based paint was banned for residential use. During renovation, repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces, lead dust becomes airborne and can contaminate flooring, windowsills, and other surfaces. The EPA’s RRP Rule requires lead dust testing in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities.

Our lead dust wipe kits meet EPA Method 8 sampling standards and are analyzed at an AIHA-accredited laboratory. Results provide documented lead dust levels in micrograms per square foot (μg/ft²) — the same metric used by licensed lead inspectors, OSHA compliance programs, and HUD clearance examinations.

Lead testing is recommended before and after renovation projects in pre-1978 homes, when purchasing or renting older properties, when children under six are present, and when renovating schools or daycares. MycoTest provides a fast, affordable alternative to a full lead inspection — with certified results delivered directly to your email inbox.
