Residential Lead Paint Abatement

Residential lead paint abatement involves safely removing or enclosing lead-based paint from homes, especially those built before 1978, to protect occupants from lead poisoning. Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in children. The process typically includes specialized cleaning, careful removal, or stabilization of the paint by certified professionals using approved techniques and equipment. Abatement ensures the home is safer by minimizing lead dust and hazards, often complying with federal and state regulations. It's a crucial step in maintaining a healthy living environment and preventing long-term health risks linked to lead exposure.
