Lab results and your report
Samples go to an EPA-certified lab. Your written report shows what was found and what needs attention, so you can respond to the city.
A clear path, not a pile of paperwork.
If your assessment finds lead hazards, Louisville Metro Public Health & Wellness handles follow-up, including remediation requirements and future inspections. Your report tells you exactly where the hazards are, so you and your contractor know what to fix.
We'll walk you through the results and what to do next. If the property needs a retest after repairs, we can schedule it.
What you'll have in hand
- A written report from a Kentucky-certified Lead Risk Assessor
- Lab results from an EPA-certified lab
