LEAD ABATEMENT  

Lead was a commonly used paint additive until it was banned for household use in 1978. Lead was mainly used as it would help increase the moisture resistance, durability, drying speed, and help keep the paint fresh. Due to the toxic behaviour of lead, lead abatement can be more dangerous than no abatement, which is why Directed Heat Restoration LLC checks our buildings for the presence of lead and remove them with utmost care if any are found. It is essential to hire professional expertise for lead abatement to remediate the problem safely and effectively. We take pride in providing top-notch lead abatement services with the help of our expert and experienced professionals for all your commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.  

LEAD POISONING AND HEALTH ISSUES  

Lead can be found in many homes, mostly under several layers of paint. It was banned for household use as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that short-term over-exposure or long-term exposure to lead can cause serious health issues. Lead can be absorbed just by breathing the dust from these walls. Lead absorbed by the body gets stored in the tissues, blood and bones and can affect your intestines, nervous systems, kidneys, bones, heart, reproductive system, etc. Therefore, it is advised to check your buildings for the presence of lead and remove them if there are any found.  

 

METHODS FOR SAFE LEAD ABATEMENT PRACTICE:

Directed Heat and Restoration have certified and licensed professionals that are capable of performing lead abatement projects which include inspections, risk assessment, and abatement. Our team use various lead abatement methods which include: 

  • Enclosure:  The enclosure is one of the easiest abatement methods which involves a wall covering to simply cover over the lead paint. This method is typically used for larger surfaces. 

  • Encapsulation: Encapsulation is a method in which lead-based paint is sealed using a special coating. This method is limited to some surfaces and cannot be used for all surfaces. 

  • Paint removal: Paint removal is an abatement method in which lead-based paint is completely removed. This method requires a certified professional as it involves harmful dust and can be a severe health hazard. 

  • Replacement: Replacement involves removing and replacing the door, window, or any other part in which lead-based paint had been used.
