Lead paint removal

Lead paint removal involves safely eliminating paint containing lead from surfaces, typically in older buildings. Lead is toxic, especially when the paint chips or dust is ingested or inhaled, posing health risks. Professionals use specialized methods like controlled wet scraping, chemical treatments, or abrasive techniques within strict safety protocols—including protective gear and containment—to prevent lead dust spread. Proper removal ensures a safer environment, especially for children and pregnant women. After removal, surfaces are typically cleaned thoroughly, and often tested to confirm lead hazards are eliminated. This process helps maintain building safety and compliance with health regulations.
