Lead Paint Testing & Removal · Los Angeles County

Lead Abatement in Los Angeles

Homes and buildings built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. When it chips, peels or is disturbed during repairs, it creates dust that is harmful, especially to young children. NTOE identifies, contains and removes lead hazards before restoration or remodeling work goes ahead.

What lead abatement includes

Lead work is about controlling dust. Every step is planned so lead is dealt with without spreading it to the rest of the property.

Testing and inspection

Lead-based paint is identified and the hazardous surfaces are mapped before any work begins.

Containment

Work areas are sealed off and protected so dust and debris stay where the work is happening.

Removal or encapsulation

Depending on the surface and its condition, lead paint is removed, enclosed or sealed so it is no longer a hazard.

Careful cleanup

Work areas are cleaned thoroughly, and lead waste is handled and disposed of according to the rules for lead materials.

Clearance before reopening

Before the area is used again, it is checked to confirm lead dust has been cleaned up.

Repairs and remodeling

Once the hazard is dealt with, our construction crew repairs and refinishes the area, or carries on with your remodel.
