LEAD & MOLD ABATEMENT
Lead Abatement:
Most structures built before 1960 contain heavily leaded paint, and some structures built as recently as 1978 may also contain lead paint. The lead was placed in the paint as a way to make it last longer. Tiny pieces of peeling or chipping lead paint are dangerous if ingested.
Lead dust that is inhaled may be a serious health hazard. Lead damages the brain, nervous system and kidneys. This damage can be permanent and is especially dangerous to children and pregnant and/or nursing women. Lead-based paint is the most common source of lead poisoning in children. Some common places in the home where lead can be a health hazard include:
- Windows and window sills
- Doors and door frames
- Stairs, railings and banisters
- Porches and fences
- Exterior siding
