Got Lead Paint?
About 38 million homes, or 40% of the nation’s housing, contain lead-based paint, making it a serious and seemingly invisible hazard. Rules apply to all types of renovations including paint removal, demolition, window replacement, and HVAC duct work repairs.
Buildings containing deteriorating lead-based paint are a health hazard, especially for young children. When lead-based paint on surfaces is scraped or sanded, it breaks into miniature, sometimes invisible dust that can settle on all types of surfaces where children may swallow or inhale the contaminant. As lead based paint ages, people can also ingest soil and dust contaminated with lead from paint that chalks or flakes.
Lead Abatement: What does it mean?
Abatement is the deconstruction of lead containing contents. Using proper equipment, tools, and PPE (personal protective equipment), we ensure the removal of hazardous materials to be quick and utilize as much safety precaution as possible. Once all of the hazardous material is removed, our testing crews come in and acquire clearance test results to ensure safety and completion.
Lead Based Paint Health Hazards
Lead-based paint was used mostly for interior and exterior building surfaces, toys, and furniture from the 40’s to the late 70’s. Lead-based paint was banned in 1978 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Some countries unfortunately still ship products containing lead paint to the U.S today.
Dangers of Lead Based Paint
Both inside and outside the house, deteriorated lead-paint mixes with common household dust and soil and gets tracked in the house. Children may get lead poisoning by putting their hands that have lead-contaminants on them or other lead-contaminated objects into their mouth, eating paint chips found in homes with flaking or peeling lead-based paint.
Commercial
Commercial buildings are not held under the same safety in building materials as homes, thus are commonly abundant in asbestos and lead containing materials. Your commercial building may still be hot with asbestos even after the outlawing of asbestos containing materials after 1985.
Residential
Residential homes built or updated before 1985 have a high chance of containing asbestos in the building materials. In 1985, asbestos containing materials were outlawed in the U.S. Call us today to have it tested.

We cover all aspects for abatement including the reconstruction of the structure. While other companies only abate the hazardous material, we perform everything all the way to the build back to make your home or building better than before.
