Free Lead Based Paint Risk Assessments for Red Lake Homes



The Red Lake DNR Environmental Program is looking for homes to test for lead.  The criteria for home selection is: 
  • Built prior to 1978 (definite or suspected),
  • Children 0-6 years of age residing in that home or,
  • A home where children spend a reasonable amount of time (like say a grandparent’s home). 
It doesn’t matter if it is a rental unit or an owned home, as long as it’s pre-1978 and accessible.  This service is all free.  It will take up to 3-4 hours to complete the testing.

For more information or to schedule a time to have your home tested, call Jennifer Godwin at (218) 679-3959 or send an email to jgodwin@redlakenation.org by June 17, 2011.

    Great idea, lead based paint removal
    is a time consuming task, that really shouldn't be done by someone without guidance or training.
