Questions About Lead Paint Removal?
Lead Paint Removal FAQs
If your house was built before 1978, you may be wondering if you can use lead-free paint to paint over your existing lead-based paint. Well, it depends, if the house is fully encapsulated it is safe for you to live there, but once the paint starts to deteriorate, the risk of lead dust spreading is probable. So, you can paint over lead paint with lead-free paint, but if the house is starting to show signs of paint failure, such as peeling and blistering, then the paint may be releasing lead dust influencing you to get the lead removed. Since we are dealing with a toxic chemical we must follow all EPA, RRP, and OSHA rules.
You can know your house has lead paint by learning how to identify it and where you might find it. One way to tell is by knowing if your house was constructed before 1978, as most homes built before that year contain lead paint. Another way to examine if you are dealing with lead-based paint is to see if the sub-layers of paint are still present on the surface. A third way you could confirm that your home has lead paint is by using a lead paint test kit.
The EPA banned consumer use of lead paint in 1978. Lead from paint, including lead-contaminated dust, is one of the most common causes of lead poisoning.
Lead paint contains a highly toxic metal (the lead) that can cause a range of health problems, especially in children.
There is a big difference in Lead renovation and RRP (renovation, repair, and painting) activities. Lead renovation is a highly specialized process that is designed to offer a final solution to lead hazards. RRP activities include slightly disturbing lead paint in conjunction with a larger scope of work like painting, siding, siding, installing windows, and light renovation.
Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Activities:
- Projects are typically performed for aesthetic reasons or stop-gap control to minimize lead hazards.
- Is NOT designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards
- Minor renovations and modifications
- Stabilizing failing paint in conjunction with a paint job
Lead paint is dangerous because when it is absorbed into the body, either through inhaling fumes and dust of lead-contaminated objects, eating paint chips, or playing in lead-contaminated soil it can cause damage to the brain, organs, kidneys, nerves, and blood.
