So you need to address a potential lead issue in your building or home...

 

Lead is a naturally occurring heavy metal that was once used in a variety of products. Although lead has been removed from most household items, it can still be found in the building materials of structures built before 1978.

 

Lead is often found in:

 

• Deteriorated lead based paint

• Old plumbing pipes

• Topsoil outside of buildings

• Lead-wicked Candles

• Soldering, stained glass

 

There is no level of lead exposure that has been established as safe. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause potential harm. Children are especially vulnerable to the negative health effects of lead. Because of the dangers posed by lead poisoning, you need a lead abatement contractor who understands the complexity of lead clean-up and mitigation.

 

Our team of professionals know these complexities, and can guide you through the applicable regulations, including: Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), Illinois Department of Public Health (IPDH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines, Cook County Department of Environmental Control (CCDEC), Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and your local ordinances.

 

From inspection and sampling services to lead abatement and stabilization of lead based paints and coatings, we have the expertise to make your project site lead-compliant. 

 

We know you have questions, and we have the answers!
