Lead paint and dust removal
Structures constructed prior to the 1990s often contain lead-based paint, which, when disturbed, can lead to severe health issues such as cancer, heart disease, kidney ailments, and anemia.
Lead dust is the most common exposure to lead. Inside the home, most lead dust comes from chipping and flaking paint or when paint is scraped, sanded, or disturbed during home renovations. Chipping and peeling paint is found mostly on surfaces that rub or bump up against another surface, like windows and doors. Jesco can safely remove all lead dust for demolition, construction, remedial, and renovation projects.
How is lead removal performed?
Lead dust removal involves safely and meticulously eliminating all lead-containing particles from residential, commercial, or industrial properties.
Lead paint tends to deteriorate, mingling with dust and other household debris, posing a risk of lead poisoning through inhalation. Our primary objective during lead dust removal is to mitigate risks and prevent further contamination.
