Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it&rsquo;s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.</p></div>

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: Why is lead paint toxic?

• <div><p>Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it&rsquo;s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. </p></div>

Q: How do companies ensure safety during the abatement process?

• <div><p>By using PPE, sealing work areas, and following containment procedures.</p></div>

Have been using them for several years now and they have always done an awesome job. They removed a large spruce tree this year and cleaned up the yard so well that you can’t tell where the tree was. Ben and his crew are amazing.
