Lead Paint Removal Services
Protect your family and workers from lead exposure. We provide certified lead paint testing, removal, and disposal for Edmonton homes and commercial properties.
The Dangers of Lead Paint
Lead was a common additive in household paint prior to 1978. When this older paint begins to chip, peel, or chalk—or when it is sanded and scraped during renovations—it creates highly toxic lead dust. Lead poisoning is particularly dangerous to young children and pregnant women, causing severe neurological damage, developmental delays, and organ toxicity.
In Edmonton's older neighborhoods (such as Strathcona, Highlands, and Westmount), lead paint is frequently found on window sills, door frames, baseboards, and exterior siding.
Our Lead Abatement Process
Because sanding or dry-scraping lead paint creates a massive hazard, we employ strict safety protocols to remove it safely:
Site Containment
We seal off the work area using heavy-duty plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to ensure lead dust cannot migrate to other parts of your home.
Safe Removal Techniques
We use chemical stripping, wet-sanding, and specialized HEPA-shrouded power tools. These methods strip the paint down to the bare substrate without allowing toxic dust to become airborne.
Decontamination & Disposal
All surfaces are thoroughly washed with a specialized lead-binding detergent. Paint chips and contaminated materials are disposed of at certified hazardous waste facilities.
Do I Have Lead Paint?
If your home was built before 1978, you should assume lead is present. Before undertaking any scraping or sanding, contact our team to perform a definitive chemical swab or XRF (X-ray fluorescence) test to confirm the presence of lead.
