Lead paint: it sounded like a good idea at the time. In fact, people used to use lead in all kinds of daily items, from zippers to food storage. Now that we know about lead toxicity, we need to find safe ways of dealing with the lead remaining around us. Thankfully, lead paint remediation is an effective and affordable option in New Jersey!
Cherry Hill Painting has received certification from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to remediate homes with lead paint. This is a vital certification, giving homeowners peace of mind. When you work with a lead safe certified painting contractor, you know your family is safe.
What Does Lead Safe House Painting Involve?
The keys to lead safe painting include:
- Breathing protection for employees working on the project
- Plastic sheeting to prevent lead dust from spreading into the living area
- Containment of all disturbed paint and dust
- Safe and eco-friendly disposal of all affected materials
- Repainting the surfaces to safely encapsulate remaining lead
- Thorough cleanup of the project
How Do I Know if My Home Contains Lead Paint?
Most homes built before 1978 contain lead paint. If your home just needs new paint applied on top of the previous paint, you may not need remediation. It is when the previous coating requires sanding, scraping, or repair that lead dust is a danger.
