Lead is a naturally occurring element that was commonly used in homes constructed prior to 1978. Toxic levels of lead can have a profound effect on a person’s health, particularly in young children. According to the World Health Organization, lead can cause:
If your home was built before 1978, it is imperative that it be tested for lead. Even small amounts, over time, wreak havoc on the physical health of you and your family. A lead paint inspection is simple, non-invasive, and includes these steps:
1 Take a small sample of drywall or paint.
2 Submit the sample to a lab for analysis.
3 Report how much lead is present.
If the amount of lead present is considered a potential hazard, Zona recommends performing a contained abatement. Similar to our mold restoration and asbestos abatement procedures, this process keeps the hazardous material from spreading to the rest of your home while our expert lead inspectors safely remove it.
1 Secure the Area. Using plastic sheeting, we secure all floors, walls, and ceilings, and utilize negative pressure machines and air scrubbers to prevent cross-contamination.
2 Removal of Hazardous Material. Our professionals remove all lead-containing material and dispose of it properly according to environmental procedures.
3 High-Powered Vacuuming. All remaining surfaces are cleaned thoroughly using a wet-wipe method. Using a HEPA vacuum, we scrub the air inside the sealed area to remove any lingering material.
4 Post-Removal Testing: Zona employs a third party company to test the area, verifying all lead has been removed and your home is now safe.
