Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

Q: What should I do if toxic materials are found during a professional test?

• <div><p>Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.</p></div>

Q: Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you&rsquo;ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: What products do I use to clean up lead dust?

• <div><p>You may see specialty products for sale to remove lead dust, such as D-Lead surface wipes. But you do not need to buy a special cleaner just for lead dust. A regular all-purpose cleaner, like 409 or something similar, is sufficient for cleanup. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when using it and to dilute with water.</p></div>

"Dwight and his team at Arbor Tree & Lawn Services completely transformed my rental property. After nearly 15 years of tenant occupancy, the landscaping was severely overgrown and the house had almost disappeared behind trees and bushes. Dwight brought a vision, incredible knowledge, and a hardworking team. They trimmed trees, reshaped shrubs, rebuilt landscape beds, installed fresh mulch, planted flowers, and added beautiful boulders that made the property look like a model home. Neighbors constantly ask who did the work, and my wife says the landscaping now looks better than our own home. Dwight is professional, honest, resourceful, and goes far beyond what is expected. I have no doubt his work increased the value of my property. Highly recommended."

Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time.
