Before we begin removing lead paint, we clearly explain the details of the job and describe how we will minimize lead hazards during the lead-based paint removal process. For your safety, only trained and certified lead remediation technicians will be permitted in the work area while the remediation is in progress.

Lead Dust – Exposure to lead dust is the most common way people get lead poisoning. Lead dust is usually invisible and comes from lead paint that is flaking, chipping, cracking, or peeling. Lead dust also comes from lead-based paint and lead-contaminated soil. Dust from deteriorating lead-based paint and lead-contaminated soil tracked into homes are the most common sources of lead poisoning.

Lead enters the body by inhaling or swallowing lead dust. People risk breathing unsafe lead dust or fumes when they disturb lead-based paint by brushing, sanding, scraping, or burning. In lead-contaminated homes, people, especially children under age 6, can swallow lead dust as they eat and play. Charles Abatement will prepare an estimate on the cost to remove lead-based paint, along with the number of days required to remove lead-based paint from your home, business, or facility.
