Understanding Lead-Based Paint Risks
Lead-based paint was widely used in homes before its ban in 1978 due to its durability and vibrant colors. However, as the paint ages, it can crack, peel, and chip, releasing toxic lead dust into the air and onto surfaces.
Health Risks of Lead Exposure
- Children: Lead exposure can impair brain development, reduce attention span, and cause learning difficulties.
- Pregnant Women: Lead can affect fetal development, increasing the risk of birth defects and complications.
- Adults: Prolonged exposure may lead to kidney damage, high blood pressure, and other health issues.
Common Signs of Lead-Based Paint Problems
- Peeling, bubbling, or cracking paint
- Dust accumulation near windows, doors, or walls
- Painted surfaces that frequently rub together (e.g., windowsills, doors)
If your property shows any of these signs and was built before 1978, it’s crucial to address potential lead-based paint hazards promptly.
Our Comprehensive Lead-Based Paint Services
At Rose Contracting & Painting, we offer a tailored, step-by-step approach to ensure your home is safe and restored to its best condition. Here’s how we manage lead-based paint projects:
1. Inspection and Testing
We start by assessing your property to identify areas where lead-based paint is present. Using certified lead testing kits or partnering with professional lead inspectors, we ensure accurate results and pinpoint the scope of the project.
2. Containment
To prevent lead dust and debris from spreading, we seal off the work area with heavy-duty plastic sheeting and other containment measures. This ensures the safety of your household and the surrounding environment during the remediation process.
3. Removal of Peeling or Bubbling Paint
Our team uses EPA-approved methods to safely remove deteriorating paint, including:
- Wet scraping to minimize dust
- Sanding with HEPA-filtered tools for efficient and dust-free results
- Chemical strippers for delicate surfaces
4. Surface Preparation
Once the lead paint is removed, we prepare the surface for a new finish. This includes:
- Filling cracks or holes
- Smoothing rough patches
- Applying a high-quality primer to seal and protect the surface
5. Painting and Finishing
We use premium paints that are durable, vibrant, and safe. Our expert painters ensure a flawless finish that not only enhances your home’s aesthetics but also provides a long-lasting solution.
6. Cleanup
Our team takes pride in leaving every worksite spotless. After the job is complete, we perform a thorough cleaning, including:
- Vacuuming with HEPA-filtered equipment
- Wiping down all surfaces
- Proper disposal of lead-contaminated materials in compliance with EPA guidelines
7. Post-Remediation Testing
For your peace of mind, we conduct post-remediation testing to confirm that lead levels are within safe limits. This ensures your home is truly lead-free and safe for occupancy.
