Inspection Services





It is impossible to detect lead-based paint by simply looking at it. You might pick up a cheap DIY kit, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests hiring an official inspector. If you have reason to believe the paint in your residence is putting you and your family at risk, it’s worth contacting our professionals.


Before we think about starting the abatement process, an evaluation must be done to determine the extent and location of lead sources on your property. We start the process by testing the lead paint. Paint samples are sent to a certified lab that produces a detailed inspection report.


An inspection shows if there is lead paint on any surface inside or outside your house. This assessment is very helpful if you are planning a renovation, painting, or are having paint removed.



Removal services





More than 30% of United States homes are estimated to contain toxic paint that is hazardous to human health, particularly with children younger than the age of 6. Young people can easily ingest paint through contact with lead dust or by chewing paint chips.


Following inspection, if work is necessary, we investigate the contaminated area before starting removal. We use cutting edge removal methods and procedures to completely eradicate toxic material from your residence, thus restoring it and ensuring it becomes safe for you and your family.


Depending on your needs and space, our certified pros remove paint by covering the painted surfaces, encapsulating the paint, chemically stripping, or scraping. The removal and abatement of lead-based paint requires special training and tools, which our technicians possess.



ENCAPSULATION and enclosure SERVICES





You have a few choices when it comes to the abatement of lead paint. One method is encapsulation, which is typically less expensive than removal and less complicated. Encapsulation involves brushing or rolling on a paint-like coating, sealing the lead paint and stopping the release of paint dust or chips into your house or business.


A similar method is enclosure. This is when the toxic surface is covered with a new surface, such as putting up new drywall or coating a windowsill with vinyl cladding.


Enclosure and encapsulation are only effective when the lead-based painting surface is in good condition. While less affordable, removal is the most effective method for cleaning the area and provides a permanent solution.



Commercial abatment services





Like houses, if your commercial office or building was built before 1978, there is a likelihood that contains some lead paint outside or inside. Since the paint poses a significant risk of lead poisoning for small children and pregnant women, it’s necessary that the toxic dust and chips are removed to protect your customers.


If you’re not sure about the possibility of lead paint on your working premises, ask the landlord or building owner for a copy of a certificate showing it’s lead-safe or lead-free. Always alert the landlord or owner if you see peeling or chipping paint, especially on stair rails, windowsills, and doors.


Our skilled technicians have vast experience with lead abatement from all types of commercial properties, as well as historical buildings, schools, hospitals, historical buildings, industrial buildings, and structural steel.



What to do if you have lead paint on your property?



When testing indicates that lead paint exists inside or outside your home, there are temporary actions you can take to minimize and control the danger to occupants and visitors.

  • Clean up any paint chips right away.
  • Keep play areas for children clean.
  • Do not let children chew on painted chips or surfaces.
  • Clean dust from windowsills and other surfaces daily with a mop, sponge, or paper towels and warm water. Thoroughly rinse off mop heads and sponges following cleaning.
  • Take off your shoes and sneakers when entering the home so as to not track in lead from the outside soil and dirt.
  • If you are a renter, inform your landlord of the test results, as well as the evidence of chipping and peeling paint in the residence.

It can also help immensely if your your children eat healthy. Children who consume good diets absorb less lead.

What is the cost of lead paint abatement and removal?





Many factors must be considered when calculating the total cost of lead paint abatement and removal. In some instances, complete removal is not needed, meaning a homeowner can choose encapsulation, which is less expensive. While this option is typically more affordable, it isn’t necessarily a permanent solution for toxic lead. Encapsulation may suffer wear and tear or damaged through frequent use or touch.


Complete removal costs $10 to $12 per square foot. Removal of lead paint for larger properties will start at a few thousand dollars. Encapsulation and enclosure come at lower rates.
