Lead-Based Paint Abatement

Lead-Based Paint Abatement is the process of safely removing or reducing lead-based paint hazards in homes or buildings. This is particularly important in structures built before 1978 when lead paint was commonly used. The abatement can involve techniques like removing the paint, sealing it, or encapsulating surfaces with protective coatings. The goal is to prevent lead dust or chips, which can be harmful, especially to children and pregnant women, causing serious health issues. Proper procedures must be followed to ensure safety and compliance with regulations during the abatement process.
