Lead paint was prized for it's durability, looks and ease of care. This paint was often painted over becoming a hidden danger. Present standards dictate that all lead paint be removed. Special health concerns and the possibility of environmental pollution make removal expensive and time consuming.

Lead was used in plumbing until fairly recently. The word plumbing comes from Latin for lead. Lead solder or pipes in your fresh water system can leach the metal into the water posing a danger to drinkers.

Testing for lead is not a usual part of a home inspection. Home test kits are available at your local hardware store. An environmental hygienist, or lead remediator can be consulted for testing and removal.
