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 are samples collected during testing?

• <div><p>Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.</p></div>

Q: How long does testing take?

• <div><p>Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.</p></div>

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>

From the first interaction, Eddie's garage door and their employees were wonderful. Quick on first contact. Came out within a few days to give a quote. Very knowledgeable. They showed up when they said they would and didn't leave until the job was finished. The doors look and operate great.
