Lead Paint Abatement

Certified technicians that eliminate lead at its source

We Remove The Dangers Of Lead Paint

Prior to lead paint being banned in 1978, it was used in nearly 40 million residential buildings and an even greater number of other facilities including schools, businesses and care facilities. If you believe your home or building contains lead paint, call our certified lead paint abatement technicians at 904-701-0806 in Florida or 404-721-1284 in Georgia to have it safely removed. We are certified to perform lead inspections in homes and buildings of all kinds.

Trust Our Comprehensive Testing

As lead paint peels and deteriorates, it releases a toxic dust into the air we breathe. The sure way to know whether the toxic metal exists in your home or building is through testing. We have the most comprehensive lead paint testing process, which includes:

  • Visual assessment
  • Surface dust tests
  • Lab testing of samples
  • Special X-ray machines

If inhaled or ingested, lead paint affects the brain and nervous system. Lead paint poisoning is also linked to behavioral problems and learning disabilities in children. Pregnant women are also at risk because they can transfer lead poisoning to the fetus. Even low levels of lead can cause high blood pressure and hypertension in adults and children. Protection begins with testing. Give us a call today!

Our Lead Paint Abatement Services

Our professional lead paint abatement services remove lead paint and the threat of lead poisoning. As the Environmental Protection Agency urges, you should always hire certified lead paint abatement professionals like WaterRemovalAtlanta.com because we know “how to do this work safely and have the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict safety rules set by their state or the federal government.”

Our certified lead paint removal services include:

Establishing a Containment Area. We remove the entire contents of the room or area and securely cover fixed structures. Then we seal off the entire area, including doorways and windows, from the rest of the building using durable plastic sheeting. Any surfaces that come in contact with food are properly sealed as well.

Lead Removal. We ensure the safe removal and handling of lead dust and fumes so they don’t disperse into the air. We use wet techniques while sanding and scraping to remove loose and flaking lead paint. Our skilled technicians secure the collected paint chips, peels and dust in a sealed bag for safe disposal. As part of the lead paint abatement process, our technicians also use a HEPA-filtered power sander to trap lead particulates.

Cleaning and Testing. Once our technicians have removed the lead paint, the entire area is cleaned with a HEPA-filtered industrial vacuum. The HEPA filter collects and traps small lead contaminants. Next, we wet wash the entire area with a specially-formulated solution and HEPA vacuum. After the final cleanup, we test the areas where we performed lead abatement to ensure there is no presence of lead dust.
