Lead paint remediation
Lead paint remediation is the process of safely removing or covering lead-based paint from homes or buildings to protect occupants from lead poisoning. Since lead is harmful, especially to children and pregnant women, professionals carefully contain and remove the old paint using specialized tools and procedures. This might involve scraping, scraping, sanding with containment, or applying encapsulants to seal the lead paint. Remediation ensures the environment is safe by reducing lead dust and paint hazards, often following strict regulations to prevent exposure during and after the process.
