Philadelphia Lead Paint Cleaning and Removal Services

When it comes to lead paint, we've seen it all.

Exterior and Interior Walls

Lead paint removal from exterior and interior walls involves the careful assessment and implementation of techniques to safely eliminate lead-based paint coatings. Reconstruction companies begin by conducting thorough inspections to identify areas with lead paint contamination. They then employ methods such as chemical stripping, abrasive blasting, or enclosure and encapsulation to remove or contain the lead paint effectively. Specialized equipment and personal protective gear are utilized to prevent exposure to lead dust and fumes during the removal process. Following removal, surfaces are meticulously cleaned and treated to ensure they are free from lead residues, ready for refinishing or repainting.

Woodwork

Woodwork often contains lead paint coatings, presenting unique challenges for removal due to intricate designs and delicate surfaces. Reconstruction companies employ specialized techniques tailored to wood surfaces, such as chemical stripping, heat guns, or infrared heat technology, to safely remove lead paint while preserving the integrity of the wood. Careful attention is paid to prevent damage to the woodwork during the removal process, with skilled craftsmen employing precision tools and methods to achieve thorough and efficient paint removal. Once the lead paint is removed, wood surfaces may be restored, refinished, or sealed to enhance their appearance and protect against future contamination.

Windows

Windows are common areas where lead paint accumulates over time, posing risks of exposure to occupants, particularly through friction surfaces during operation. Reconstruction companies approach lead paint removal from windows with specialized techniques designed to minimize dust and debris dispersion. Protective measures, such as sealing off work areas and using HEPA vacuum systems, are implemented to prevent lead dust contamination of surrounding areas. Upon completion, windows are thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure they are safe and free from lead residues, ready for refinishing or restoration.

Doors

Doors, both interior and exterior, often contain lead paint coatings, requiring careful removal to mitigate health risks and ensure safety. Reconstruction companies employ methods tailored to door surfaces, such as chemical stripping, heat guns, or mechanical abrasion, to effectively remove lead paint while minimizing damage to door structures. Special attention is paid to areas of high friction, such as door edges and hinges, where lead paint may accumulate and pose risks of exposure. After lead paint removal, doors are meticulously cleaned and inspected to ensure they are free from lead residues, ready for refinishing, sealing, or restoration to their original condition.
