Property Owners Get Tested Any home built before 1978 should be checked by a trained professional for lead based paint. You can get your home tested in one of two ways, or both:

If you have a garden, plant fruits and vegetables in a raised flower bed or at least 3 feet from the outside walls of your house to avoid getting paint chips in soil of your garden. Be safe and have soil tested before planting a garden. The most important thing to do is get to know the law. |
