How We Approach Lead Abatement in Los Angeles

Inspection and Risk Assessment

Our lead abatement process begins with a thorough on-site assessment to determine the scope of your project and identify key risk areas on your property. After the evaluation is complete, our team will begin building a site-specific project plan that will allow your business to continue operating, if necessary. We’ll handle all paperwork and will notify the relevant regulatory agencies of your project, so you can focus on leading your team.

Removal and Component Replacement

Our removal and replacement services are designed for structures with lead-based paint. Depending on your property’s specifications, we’ll either completely remove the lead paint, using continuous air monitoring to track dust particles and remove airborne contaminants, or fully remove the structure and replace it with non-contaminated material. This technique is best suited for structures such as doors, windows, or wall trim.

Enclosure and Encapsulation

When using an enclosure technique, we use coverings to cover lead paint and prevent inhalation of harmful particles. Encapsulation takes this a step further, using a specific coating to seal the lead-based paint before enclosure. These methods are typically used for larger surfaces, and we will choose your technique based on your building’s specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions Lead Abatement

How much will my lead abatement cost?

The cost of your lead remediation in Los Angeles will depend on the surface area, paint condition, containment complexity, waste volume, site access, and whether the building will be partially occupied during the project. We’ll provide you with a detailed cost estimate after our on-site evaluation.

When is it safe to re-enter after lead abatement?

Our clearance testing and air monitoring will confirm when it is safe to re-enter your property. We use third-party, independent testing to ensure we meet regulatory clearance standards and help you have peace of mind when reopening your business.
