Expert Response

Although we aren't aware of free testing services, we do have a list of a few regional labs you can look into using on our Soil Testing and Soil Testing Labs page. The test is likely to cost about $20 on average. (The University of Delaware lab includes lead [Pb] testing as part of the standard test, but not all labs do.)
