What is lead paint, and why is it dangerous?

Lead paint contains lead-based pigments that can pose serious health risks when it deteriorates, chips, or is sanded, releasing lead dust and fumes. Lead exposure can lead to health problems, especially in children and pregnant women, including developmental issues, learning disabilities, and behavioral disorders.

‍

Is lead paint common in older homes in Calgary?

Yes, lead-based paint was commonly used in homes and buildings before 1978. If your property was built before this date, there is a higher likelihood of lead-based paint being present.

Why should I choose professional lead paint removal services over DIY methods?

Professional lead paint removal is essential because it requires specialized equipment, training, and knowledge of safety protocols. DIY methods can often lead to greater health risks due to inadequate containment and improper disposal practices.
