If your home was built before the 1970s, it’s likely that the original layers of paint contain lead. Despite its adverse effects, lead was a common ingredient in paint due to its durability and moisture resistance. Now, we understand the real danger of this toxic material.
Lead poisoning can result in significant health problems, particularly in children. Symptoms range from learning difficulties, irritability, and loss of appetite, to more severe cases such as seizures and even death. Pregnant women exposed to lead can experience complications, and adults can develop high blood pressure and kidney issues.
That’s why it’s essential to conduct regular lead risk assessments and inspections, particularly in older homes. Identifying and dealing with lead paint promptly can protect you and your loved ones from these risks.
While there are a number of DIY methods to remove lead-based paint, such as wet sanding, heat guns, encapsulation, or chemical stripping, each comes with significant risks. Lead dust and fumes can be hazardous if not properly managed.
For example, using a heat gun requires careful monitoring of temperature to avoid releasing toxic fumes. Similarly, chemical stripping involves the use of harsh substances that require ample ventilation and protective gear. Therefore, the safest way to handle lead paint is through professional intervention.
Our ES America team understands the paramount importance of setting up a lead-safe work area before we start any lead paint removal project. Your home is your sanctuary, and our job is to protect it from toxic lead dust that could spread throughout the house during the removal process.
We meticulously prepare each work area by covering your furniture and possessions, then isolate the space with plastic sheeting and duct tape to prevent lead particles from escaping. Our professionals employ high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, the gold standard in air filtration technology, to control airborne lead dust during the process. To safeguard our staff and your family, we always use personal protective equipment (PPE), including goggles, gloves, and respirator masks.

We weren’t sure if the was asbestos in our floor or not. We called in the morning and they sent a technician out that afternoon and we had results the next day. Great technician, great customer service, all around a good experience with them.
Elias and crew were great to work with. Their estimate was in-line with others I received, but they were much faster in both getting me on their schedule and completing the work than the others. They did a fantastic job and I’d use them again in a heartbeat.
Sara in the office was polite and punctual. Elias came out almost immediately and collected samples. Within four hours I had my results. This company is a model how all companies should work
