Lead Removal

Experts in Professional Lead Removal

Lead is a highly toxic heavy metal that was once widely used in the production of paint. Because of this, many homes and commercial buildings built before 1978 may still contain lead-based materials. Its presence remains a serious health concern, making proper testing and safe removal essential for protecting the people who live or work in these spaces.

Lead-based paint exposure poses serious health risks, especially for young children. When lead enters the body, it can harm the brain, nervous system, kidneys, and other vital organs. Exposure often occurs through swallowing paint chips, touching or playing in contaminated soil, or putting lead-contaminated objects in the mouth.

Because of these dangers, HUD, OSHA, and the USEPA have established strict regulations for handling and removing lead-based materials. These standards protect both the trained lead-abatement professionals performing the work and the people who live or work in the building once the removal is complete.

Most common sources of lead exposure:

  • Peeling, chipping, or cracking lead-based paint and lead dust: Older paint breaks down over time, creating hazardous dust and chips.
  • Windows, window sills, and window frames: Opening and closing windows can release lead dust into the air.
  • Wood trim, cabinets, porches/decks, stairs, railings, and fire escapes: Many painted surfaces in older homes may still contain lead.
  • Contaminated soil: Soil around older buildings or high-traffic areas can hold lead from past paint or industrial sources.
