Lead is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, especially in children, pregnant women, and older adults. At Enviropro Testing and Consulting LLC, we provide certified lead testing services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Benton, Arkansas, and surrounding areas.

Benefits of Our Lead Testing Services
Health Protection for Vulnerable Populations
Lead exposure is especially harmful to children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Professional testing helps detect hidden risks and prevent exposure before it leads to irreversible health issues. Our services support early intervention to keep families, tenants, and employees safe from harmful contamination.
Compliance with Safety Regulations
Federal and state laws require lead testing in certain housing, child-care centers, and commercial buildings. Our certified testing ensures compliance with regulations, helping property owners avoid fines, legal liabilities, or delays during renovations, sales, or leasing processes that involve lead disclosure requirements.
Informed Renovation Planning
Disturbing lead-based paint during renovations can release toxic dust into the air. By testing before construction or remodeling projects begin, we help you develop safe work plans and hire qualified contractors, minimizing exposure risks and ensuring your project proceeds within safety guidelines.
Real Estate Transparency
Lead testing supports transparency in real estate transactions. Buyers gain insight into the true condition of a property, while sellers can disclose known risks accurately. This protects all parties and promotes smoother closings with fewer surprises during inspections or appraisals.
Environmental Risk Reduction
Lead can be present in soil, plumbing, and building materials. Our services identify all possible contamination points, allowing you to take comprehensive measures to reduce environmental risk and create a healthier space both indoors and around the exterior of your property.
Peace of Mind and Responsibility
Knowing your property is lead-safe provides long-term peace of mind. Whether for your family, tenants, or business, proactive testing demonstrates responsibility and care. It’s an investment in health, safety, and community well-being that reflects a commitment to maintaining a responsible property.
Our Lead Testing Services
Paint Chip and Surface Testing
We test painted surfaces using XRF analyzers or sample collection to determine the presence of lead-based paint. This service is ideal for homes built before 1978 and is often required before renovation, demolition, or occupancy changes in residential or child-occupied facilities.
Dust Wipe Sampling
Lead-contaminated dust is a leading cause of indoor exposure. We perform wipe sampling on floors, window sills, and other surfaces to assess risk levels. This is particularly important after renovation projects or as a clearance test to verify cleaning effectiveness in older properties.
Soil Testing
Lead in soil can pose dangers to children playing outdoors or to garden areas. We test yard soil, playgrounds, and landscaping zones to detect contamination from old paint, industrial sources, or previous renovations. Our results support safe landscaping and usage decisions.
Water Testing for Lead
Old plumbing materials may leach lead into drinking water. We collect and analyze water samples from faucets, fixtures, and pipes to determine lead levels. This is critical for homes with original plumbing or properties near industrial zones or public infrastructure upgrades.
Clearance Testing After Lead Cleanup
Following a lead abatement or cleanup project, clearance testing confirms the property is now safe and compliant. We perform post-cleanup testing using certified protocols and provide documentation to support occupancy or re-entry, ensuring peace of mind for both property owners and residents.
Comprehensive Inspection Reports
We deliver detailed inspection reports outlining sample results, contamination levels, affected materials, and recommendations. Our clear documentation supports insurance claims, real estate disclosures, and renovation permits, offering clarity and assurance for decision-makers across residential and commercial settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should have lead testing performed?
Anyone living in or managing buildings built before 1978 should consider lead testing. It's especially important for homes with children, daycares, schools, or renovation plans. Testing helps identify risks and protect occupants from dangerous lead exposure through dust or paint deterioration.
Is lead testing required before renovations?
Yes, in many cases. If you're renovating a pre-1978 home, lead testing is often required under EPA guidelines. Testing ensures safe handling of lead-based materials and helps prevent the spread of toxic dust during demolition, painting, or remodeling activities.
Can I test for lead myself with a kit?
Home test kits are available but can be inaccurate or limited in scope. Professional testing provides certified results, laboratory analysis, and official documentation. This ensures you receive reliable, actionable information that meets legal and safety requirements for property management or sale.
What areas of a home are commonly tested?
We test painted surfaces, dust on floors and sills, soil around the property, and water from faucets. These areas are most likely to harbor lead contamination. A thorough inspection evaluates both interior and exterior spaces to identify all potential sources of exposure.
How long does lead testing take?
The onsite inspection typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on property size and number of samples. Lab analysis for collected samples usually takes 3–5 business days. We provide a complete report with findings and next-step recommendations once results are confirmed.
What happens if lead is found in my home?
If lead is found, we will provide a clear report and guidance on safe maintenance or next steps. While we do not perform lead removal, we can recommend licensed abatement contractors. We also offer clearance testing after cleanup to verify the area is safe for occupancy.
Is lead still used in homes today?
Lead has been banned from residential paint since 1978, but it may still exist in older homes and materials. It is not used in new construction, but older plumbing, fixtures, or exterior paint may still contain lead if not previously removed.
Are your services certified and compliant with regulations?
Yes. We follow EPA and state guidelines for lead testing and use accredited laboratories for all sample analysis. Our services meet legal and safety standards, ensuring that your property complies with current health and environmental protection laws in Arkansas.
