Lead Abatement Services
Lead-based paint and lead-containing materials are common in older NYC buildings and pose serious health risks if disturbed. Improper handling can create hazardous dust and trigger violations. That’s why lead abatement must be controlled from start to finish. From initial evaluation to final clearance, we manage the full process—containment, dust control, removal, documentation, and turnover—so your project moves forward cleanly and without disruption.
How Lead Abatement Works
Our lead abatement process follows strict U.S. EPA and NYC DOH regulations, from initial notification through documented final clearance.
- Project Assessment & Abatement Planning:
Evaluation of lead hazards, scope coordination, and preparation of required filings where applicable.
- Regulatory Filings & Notifications:
Submission of required lead abatement notifications and permits.
- Containment & Dust Control Setup:
Installation of containment barriers, critical seals, and HEPA filtration systems to control lead dust.
- Lead Hazard Reduction & Removal:
Stabilization, encapsulation, or removal of lead-based paint and materials using approved methods.
- Regulated Waste Handling & Disposal:
Proper packaging, labeling, transport, and disposal of lead waste with required documentation.
- Cleaning & Surface Decontamination:
HEPA vacuuming, wet cleaning, and detailed surface preparation to meet clearance standards.
- Project Closeout & Site Turnover:
Completion of all documentation and delivery of a compliant, cleared space ready for the next trade.
