Lead Abatement

Lead-based paint remains one of the most common environmental hazards in older homes and buildings. When lead paint chips, peels, or is disturbed during renovation, it creates lead-contaminated dust that can be inhaled or ingested. Children under six are especially vulnerable—even low levels of lead exposure can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. For property owners with identified lead hazards, professional abatement is the responsible path forward.

Absolute Asbestos provides three primary lead remediation approaches: complete removal (stripping lead paint from surfaces using safe methods), encapsulation (applying specialized coatings that seal lead paint in place), and enclosure (covering lead-painted surfaces with new materials). Each method has advantages depending on the surface type, property use, and budget. Our certified technicians assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective, cost-efficient approach. All work follows EPA RRP lead-safe work practices and includes post-abatement clearance testing to verify that lead dust levels meet federal standards before the area is reoccupied.
