The Myth: LeadCheck is the only lead-testing kit approved by the EPA for RRP work.
The Truth: There are actually two kits approved by the EPA for RRP work, plus the kit developed by the State of Massachusetts. All must be used by Certified Renovators.
The two kits are made by LeadCheck and D-Lead. The latter works on stucco, drywall and plaster. But, the company is having hard time filling orders and says its product will be available retail this month or next, and in bigger contractor packs in October.
