Lead is a chemical element that occurs naturally. It is to be noted that not all things that are natural are healthy because some are harmful to humans. Lead is extremely harmful whether it is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed via the skin and circulation. The bones, blood, and other tissues absorb and accumulate lead. Because it is released gradually over time at different times in your life, including pregnancy, exposure to lead is particularly dangerous for both the mother and the unborn child. Due to their around 5 times greater lead absorption than adults, children are more at risk from lead contamination. Adults are less prone than children to consume lead from paint or soil.
Lead Removal Process is a Legal Process
In California, lead removal or abatement is subject to a number of laws, rules, and processes. To guarantee that the procedures are carried out accurately and lawfully, it is crucial to contact a licensed lead abatement firm.
What is the Process for Lead Removal?
We provide services for
- Lead paint removal
- Lead-based paint replacement with non-lead-based paint
- Lead-based paint encapsulation, and
- Lead dust clean up
Either manually using dry brushing or scraping, or using chemicals that thin and remove the paint from the walls are used to remove the lead paint. This method can be more invasive and damaging to the walls, making it less safe than encapsulation.
After the paint is removed, there may be damage and a requirement for drywall repair. The area is cleaned of any remaining lead traces after the paint has been removed, along with the lead dust and debris. After that, non-lead-based paint can be used to repaint the walls. Since the lead paint has been removed, using an encapsulating paint is not necessary at this time.
Reaching Us is the First Step of the Process
Contacting a business that specialises in lead removal from homes is the first step in the removal procedure. For both residential and commercial establishments, we offer lead removal and lead abatement services. The different options are removal or encapsulation. Because it involves fewer processes, encapsulation is also a less expensive solution. In order to protect the existing lead paint and ensure that it doesn’t peel off, special encapsulation paint is placed over it. Instead of an encapsulating paint, regular water- or oil-based paints cannot be used because they will not function.
Homes can have lead paint removed using a variety of methods, all of which should only be carried out by experts. Our procedures are rigorous, and after our lead abatement programme or lead removal procedures are finished, your home will be lead-free. All of the residents will be safer and healthier once your home is lead-free.
So, in conclusion, you must be a certified lead removal specialist in order to remove lead. It can be a difficult and drawn-out process that requires expertise to do successfully and quickly. Our specialists are trained, experienced, courteous, and most importantly, certified. The procedure for removing lead paint is distinct from the encapsulating procedure.
