Why Should You Test for Lead?

Exposure to lead can have an adverse effect on almost every organ and system in your body. It can cause abdominal pain, neurologic changes, and irritability.
Exposure to high levels of lead can be fatal. Children under 6 years of age are at the greatest risk because they are more frequently exposed to lead dust on the ground, on toys, or on any surface they can reach. A lead inspection easily tells you if you and your family are exposed to lead from lead-based paint.

Where is Lead Found?

If your home or office was built before 1978, there is a high probability it has lead-based paint. Lead from paint, including lead-contaminated dust, is one the leading causes of lead poisoning.
Lead paint is found in many homes, usually hidden under newer layers of paint. Deteriorating paint is a health hazard and should be tested right away.

Types of Lead Testing

Testing for lead is performed using non-intrusive machines, paint chip samples, dust wipes, and water sampling.

Lead testing can only be performed accurately by a Certified Lead Testing Professional. Teton Environmental uses a high-powered Viken Pb200i XRF, the most advanced lead paint analyzer in the lead-testing industry.

FAQ´s

How much is a lead test?

A whole house lead test starts at $425. Price can go up based on total square feet, bed/baths, components of house, and exterior buildings.

If getting windows, siding, or door replaced, test starts at $200.

We use a non-destructive XRF machine that analyzes multiple layers of paint in seconds.

Symptoms of lead poisoning include developmental delays, abdominal pain, neurologic changes, and irritability. At very high levels it can be fatal.

Other people may experience constipation, vomiting, fatigue, pain in abdomen or joints, headache, and memory loss.

To mitigate lead paint you strip all the layers of paint off. Or paint multiple layers over existing paint to seal it and ensure it is non friable.

Exposure to lead, a toxic metal, can result in severe health consequences, particularly in pregnant women and children, including developmental delays, lowered IQ, and nervous system damage. It is essential to identify and address any lead contamination to ensure the safety of your drinking water. One way to identify the presence of lead in your drinking water is by conducting a lead water test, which involves analyzing the quantity of lead present in the water.

Stick tests are inaccurate and should not be used.

Recently had Teton Environmental out for Asbestos testing prior to remodeling our bathroom. Kyle was very responsive during the quoting process, answered all of our questions in detail and had competitive rates. He was able to come out within a week and the entire process of taking samples was complete in less than an hour. Highly recommend reaching out to Teton Environmental!

Mike is the best! Mike came to our 1912 house while under contract for lead testing, but he did that and so much more. As first time home buyers, he gave us great insights into our home and was one of the kindest, most genuine people who made us feel so comfortable during the inspection and did an incredibly thorough job going on the outside and inside of the home. It's obvious that he truly cares about his work. If I could submit more than 5 stars, I would!
