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

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.

Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

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.

It is safe to remove old linoleum, but it may require the help of a specialist due to the risk of asbestos in the material.

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
