Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

Can you sell a house with lead paint?

• <div><p>You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.</p></div>

What regulations govern lead removal procedures?

• <div><p>Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.</p></div>

How is lead measured in water?

• <div><p>Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.</p></div>

"My home was flooded during the February freeze as many were. I was thrilled when they responded. However, their main aim was to apply equipment to a floor that was clearly ruined, and this equipment was meant to blow air into the floor to get underneath to dry out the water. There was 1/2-3/4" of water under the floor, so this was never going to help. As long as the equipment was there, they could charge the insurance company for it. They did not remove the equipment when it was clear the floor had buckled-- they wanted to keep charging for the rental-- I had to ask them to take it away. No dehumidifers were used to reduce the 80+% humidity in my home. I asked for help to remove sheetrock and dry out areas, to remove the floor, but they refused. They made it clear they were "working for" the insurance company--I even got insurance company on the phone to say it was fine to remove sheetrock and dry out areas, but they still refused. I finally asked them to leave because they were not cooperating in helping to dry out my house. Any question I had on their invoice was met with threats over nonpayment, which was particularly insulting. They operate like an illegitimate business and I would not phone them again under any circumstance."
