What Is Lead Abatement?
Lead abatement is the process of permanently eliminating lead-based paint hazards from a property. Unlike simple lead paint removal or renovation, professionals follow strict safety protocols to ensure complete removal or encapsulation of lead materials.
Lead Abatement Process
Inspection and Testing
We conduct a thorough lead risk assessment using industry-standard testing methods.
Removal or Encapsulation
Our team creates a lead removal plan. Depending on the severity, we use chemical stripping, wet sanding, encapsulation, or complete removal to eliminate lead hazards.
Disposal and Post Testing
We ensure all hazardous materials are safely disposed of and perform post-abatement testing to confirm lead-free conditions.
GreenFox Air Quality is your trusted partner for all lead removal needs.
