Lead Abatement Is not Painting Over It

Residential lead abatement is more than just repainting walls. It involves the controlled removal or stabilization of lead-based paint hazards in homes to prevent exposure to lead dust and chips, which can be especially harmful to children. Unlike regular home renovations, residential lead abatement uses lead-safe work practices, including dust containment and proper cleanup, to keep your family safe and your home compliant with safety regulations.

Why Pre-1978 Homes Are the Usual Suspects

Lead-based paint was widely used in U.S. housing before it was banned for residential use in 1978. It becomes a hazard when paint deteriorates or gets disturbed during remodeling, especially on windows, doors, trim, and stairs where friction creates dust.

Safety

The Risk Is Dust You Can not See

Description: Lead is a neurotoxin. Health authorities warn that exposure can seriously harm children’s brain and nervous system and affect learning and behavior. Lead dust is often created by renovation, peeling paint, and friction surfaces like windows and doors.
