Lead Paint Abatement If you are going to renovate your home, you should be aware of whether lead paint exists in your home so that you can take the proper steps for lead paint abatement to protect yourself or your family from exposure to lead paint. Here are some common warning signs of lead paint in your home that will help you determine if you need lead paint removal.
01
Pre-1978 Homes Lead paint was banned across the entire United States in 1978. If your home was built before 1978, you should assume that lead paint was used.
02
Chipping Paint If the paint in your older home is visibly flaking or chipping off of your walls, this can be a dangerous sign of the presence of lead.
03 Multi-Layer Paint
If you notice multiple layers of paint present on surfaces, especially in older, pre-1978 buildings, there could potentially be lead in one of the hidden layers.
04
Lead Exposure Symptoms Symptoms appear only when lead exposure reaches a dangerous level. So you should treat lead poisoning symptoms as an alarm rather than an early warning sign.
