Lead
Lead with remediation and restoration services (RRP)
We and our team of partners are trained to test for, remediate and remove lead.
Lead is found in many structures and building materials depending on the year of construction. Lead is still manufactured in some materials. It is often encountered and disturbed by remediation, renovation and demolition.
Lead poisoning is permanent and irreversible. Exposure to high levels of lead may cause anemia, weakness, and kidney, brain, nerve and blood damage and even death.
Infants and young children with less developed immune systems, older adults and immuno-compromised individuals are at higher risk. Young children may develop a range of health problems including permanent learning disabilities and ADHD.
You can ingest lead from dust particles and from paint chips. In older construction, often lead paint has been painted over many times.
Lead is an EPA classified hazardous pollutant and highly toxic metal which must be dealt with in accordance with national and local regulations before being disturbed for renovation or demolition.
Before you occupy, renovate or purchase any home or commercial facility, have it tested. Call us at 404-995-4651!
