A lead-based paint service involves professional lead paint inspection, testing, and removal (abatement) for buildings built before 1978. These services include identifying and testing for lead-containing materials, safely removing or encapsulating the paint, and cleaning up contaminated areas to reduce health risks, especially for children. Certified professionals must perform these services to ensure safety and comply with federal and state regulations.

Services Offered

  • Inspection and Testing: Certified professionals conduct visual inspections and test suspect materials for lead.
  • Clearance Testing: A post-cleanup test ensures the lead levels are within safe limits.

Why It’s Important

  • Health Risks: Deteriorating lead paint can create dust and chips that are toxic, especially to young children, who can suffer permanent developmental damage from lead poisoning.
  • Legal Compliance: Federal law requires that renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) projects that disturb lead paint in pre-1978 homes be done by certified professionals.
  • Property Value: Proper remediation maintains the value of older properties and is required by certain laws for things like selling a property.
