Overview
Lead-based paint and materials pose serious health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. If lead hazards are identified in your home, workplace, or property, prompt and effective abatement or remediation is essential.
We specialize in lead abatement and remediation services to eliminate hazards and ensure a safe environment for everyone.
What Is Lead Abatement and Remediation?
Lead abatement and remediation involve removing or managing lead-based paint and other lead hazards to eliminate health risks. While both aim to reduce lead exposure, they differ slightly.
Types of Services
Abatement: Focuses on permanently eliminating lead hazards and is often required for regulatory compliance.
Remediation: Addresses lead hazards to reduce exposure risk but may not involve complete removal.
These services are vital for older buildings, renovation projects, and properties housing vulnerable populations.
