Q: Do I have to remove lead-based paint?

• <div><p>If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: How do you safely remove lead paint?

• <div><p>The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-cost-removing-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal costs</a> an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don&rsquo;t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn&rsquo;t flaking or cracked.</p></div>

Q: Do services include hazardous waste disposal?

• <div><p>Some companies offer hazardous waste removal, but additional fees and special handling procedures may be required.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

• <div><p>No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft.

The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.</p></div>

Q: What steps should be taken if lead is found in a property?

• <div><p>If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.</p></div>
