Lead Remediation
Professional Lead Paint Remediation in Denver & Colorado
EPA RRP-certified lead testing and remediation for homes and commercial properties. We protect your family, meet all regulatory requirements, and provide full clearance documentation.
Lead Paint in Older Homes & Buildings
Lead-based paint was widely used in residential and commercial buildings until it was banned for residential use in 1978. Homes built before that year — and especially those built before 1940 — have a high likelihood of containing lead paint on walls, trim, windows, doors, and exterior surfaces.
Lead is a potent neurotoxin. Children under 6 are most vulnerable because their developing nervous systems are particularly sensitive to lead exposure. Even low levels of lead in the blood can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and developmental delays. Adults exposed to lead dust can experience cardiovascular and kidney effects.
Denver's housing stock includes a large number of pre-1978 homes. If you're renovating, selling, or managing an older property in Colorado, lead testing and — if necessary — remediation is an important step to protect occupants and comply with federal and state regulations.
Common Locations for Lead Paint
- Interior walls and ceilings (especially older layers)
- Window frames, sills, and trim
- Door frames and doors
- Stair railings and balusters
- Exterior siding and trim
- Porches and fences
- Radiators and pipes (lead-based paint)
- Kitchen and bathroom cabinets in older homes
Our Lead Remediation Process
Every lead project follows EPA RRP guidelines and Colorado state requirements from initial testing through final clearance.
01
Lead Testing & Risk Assessment
We collect paint chip and dust wipe samples from suspected lead-containing surfaces. Samples are analyzed by an accredited laboratory to confirm the presence and concentration of lead.
02
Project Planning
Based on test results and the scope of work, we develop a site-specific remediation plan that meets EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) requirements and applicable Colorado regulations.
03
Containment & Protection
Work areas are sealed to prevent lead dust migration. Furniture, flooring, and HVAC systems are protected. Occupants — especially children and pregnant women — are relocated from the work area.
04
Lead Removal or Encapsulation
Depending on the surface and condition, lead paint is either removed (by wet scraping, chemical stripping, or component replacement) or encapsulated with an EPA-approved coating that seals the lead in place.
05
Thorough Cleanup
All lead-contaminated debris is collected and disposed of as hazardous waste. Work areas are HEPA-vacuumed and wet-wiped to remove residual lead dust from all surfaces.
06
Clearance Testing
Post-remediation dust wipe samples are collected and analyzed to confirm lead dust levels meet EPA clearance standards. You receive a full project report with all lab results and documentation.
