Lead Abatement

Lead abatement refers to the process of reducing or eliminating lead-based hazards in buildings, structures, and environments. Lead is a toxic metal that was commonly used in paints, pipes, and other building materials, and exposure to lead can cause serious health problems, particularly in children.

The lead abatement process typically involves identifying the sources of lead-based hazards and developing a plan to safely remove or contain them. This may involve removing lead-containing materials, such as lead-based paint or pipes, or encapsulating them to prevent the release of lead dust or particles. Specialized equipment and procedures are used to minimize the release of lead into the environment, and the work is typically carried out by licensed and trained professionals.
