Lead Testing in Las Vegas, NV

Protect Your Family and Property From Lead Exposure

Lead is a dangerous heavy metal that can be found in homes, schools, and businesses — often without visible signs. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially in children and pregnant women. If your property was built before 1978, when the U.S. banned lead-based paint in residential construction, it may still contain hidden risks.

Las Vegas Mold Testing offers professional lead testing services to detect and measure lead contamination in paint, dust, soil, and water. With certified inspectors, accredited lab analysis, and clear reporting, we provide the reliable answers you need to protect your health and meet regulatory requirements.

Where Can Lead Be Found?

Lead can linger in many building materials and environments, especially in older or poorly maintained properties. Common sources include:

Lead-based paint (cracking, peeling, or disturbed during renovations)
Dust particles created when lead paint deteriorates
Soil near the property from exterior lead paint or past industrial activity
Plumbing systems with lead pipes, solder, or fixtures that leach into drinking water

Because lead particles are invisible and often tasteless, the only way to know if you’re at risk is through certified testing.

Why Lead Testing Matters in Las Vegas

While much of the Las Vegas Valley is newer construction, many neighborhoods in Henderson, Boulder City, and central Las Vegas still contain homes built before the 1978 lead paint ban. Renovations, repainting, or even natural wear and tear can release toxic lead dust into your home environment.

In Nevada, landlords and property managers may also face legal obligations to disclose or address lead hazards. Regular testing protects not only your family’s health but also your liability as a property owner.
