Lead Abatement
Controlled removal or stabilization of lead-based materials to reduce exposure risks during renovation, demolition, or ongoing occupancy.
Overview
Lead is commonly found in the paint and coatings of older buildings. When disturbed, these materials can release hazardous dust and debris that require careful management.
We identify where lead is present, assess the level of risk, and carry out removal or stabilization based on how the area will be used.
Inspection & Assessment
Lead is often hidden beneath layers of paint or within building materials, so proper assessment is required before work begins.
The assessment covers:
Evaluating painted and coated surfaces
Identifying deteriorated or disturbed areas
Assessing exposure risks based on use of the space
Determining appropriate control methods
This evaluation establishes the guidelines and parameters of each project.
Abatement & Control
The approach depends on the condition of the material and whether it will be disturbed throughout the process.
Abatement may include:
Removal of lead-containing materials
Stabilization or encapsulation of coatings
Dust control during active work
The goal is to contain contamination and manage exposure while completing the required work.
Containment
Work areas are controlled to manage lead exposure and protect surrounding spaces.
Containment measures include:
Isolating active work zones
Using dust control methods during removal
Controlled access to affected areas
These measures help reduce impact beyond the affected work areas.
Disposal
Lead-containing materials are contained and removed in a controlled manner to limit dust and debris during handling. See our Hazardous Waste Disposal page.
