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>

Q: How do professionals ensure safe collection and removal?

• <div><p>Professionals use appropriate equipment to prevent property damage and ensure efficiency.</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: 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>

Shawn and crew arrived on time. The only way you'd know there was a tree removed from my yard is the stump which was cut just a couple inches above ground level. All the debris was cleaned up beyond my expectations. Great job!

Brian lives about an hour from our house. He was professional and came everyday to check our traps. He caught the mother racoon and then removed the 5 pups from our window dormer. He came back another time with a hepa vacumn to clean up a mess that Bat's made as a favor. What a guy.

It went well. The only thing I didn't like was when gutters were replaced they were a different size than the gutters that were removed. We had just had the house painted so now house has to be repainted where the old gutters touched the house.
