Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.
