Lead Paint Testing in Owatonna, MN.

What you get with our lead paint testing.
Federal law requires lead-paint disclosure on any home built before 1978, but disclosure is not testing. We do EPA-aligned visual assessments and can coordinate XRF testing for homes where confirmation matters — especially with young children or pregnancy in the household.
Pre-1978 homes
Federal Title X requires disclosure on pre-1978 homes. Owatonna, Faribault, and Northfield have plenty of qualifying housing stock.
Visual assessment
Identify deteriorated paint surfaces, friction surfaces, impact surfaces, and chewable surfaces — the high-risk locations.
XRF testing available
For positive/negative confirmation, we coordinate with certified lead inspectors using XRF analyzers.
Children and pregnancy
If your household includes children under 6 or someone pregnant, lead testing is essential for risk assessment.
Lead Paint Testing — common questions.

What does testing involve?
Visual assessment plus optional XRF testing through EPA-certified inspectors.
What if lead is present?
Intact paint is manageable; deteriorated surfaces need EPA RRP remediation.
