Lead paint certified professionals are the best



lead paint certified
Lead is a highly toxic substance that is known to trigger serious health adversities in both children and adults. Household paints that were used before 1978 often contained traces of this deadly metal and if your home has been painted before this, chances are there that it contains this element. Such coatings can prove to be very risky, since when this paint crumbles or chips, lead dust almost invariably passes on to the atmosphere and contaminates the environment. Inhaling lead dust is extremely injurious to health, more so for pregnant women and children, and must immediately be abated by Lead paint certified professionals, if detected.

What does lead paint certified professionals do?

Lead Paint Certified professionals are trained to perform tests and inspections as per EPA rules and laws and are equipped –

To inspect surfaces posing the threat of lead contamination.
Establish the severity of the problem.
Provide options for abating lead from the infected areas.

Although lead can be removed from a contaminated surface in many ways, EPA has formulated a RRP program that involves specific type of Repair, Renovation and Painting with necessary safety and environmental precautionary measures integrated into it. FLorida's Lead Paint Certified professionals have an accurate knowledge of the same and are trained to deal with the perils of lead paint removal, elimination and disposal in the right way.
