Homes can be a source of lead. If your home was built before 1978 it may contain lead paint. Homes built before 1950 contain the highest amount. The United States considers any community that contains greater than 27% of housing stock built prior to 1950 a high risk community.
In Renfrew County, 27% of homes were constructed prior to 1950. Use this search tool to determine if your house is a “high risk” house. Type in your street number and street name and provide the municipality you live in (i.e. 229 Welland).
Sorry, this tool doesn’t work for rural route addresses, military housing or reserve housing.
