LEAD ABATEMENT

Lead was formerly used as an additive in paints and many other construction materials. Back then, the harmful impacts of exposure to lead were not considered. But today, lead is a recognized toxin, and the effects of lead absorption in the bloodstream are considered a health hazard. If you stay in a property constructed before the use of lead was stopped, there is a chance that lead will be present on your interior surfaces under new layers of paint. Detecting and treating lead can help eliminate health hazards. Lead abatement is required if there is exposure to any occupants of a lead-contaminated building as per the Ontario Ministry of Labour and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

 

The lead abatement procedure:

 

Professional lead abatement is the perfect solution if you suspect lead. First, it is important to ascertain the presence of lead by opting for the services of qualified professionals. By making proper assessments, experts can tell you the level of lead present and the extent of the harm it poses. 

 

If lead is present, then professionals can help you achieve safety through one of the following ways:

 

• By covering up the surfaces using alternative materials

• By using bonding components to prevent chipping or flaking of lead-infused paints

• By replacing doors and windows if the paint cannot be removed with safety

• By removing lead through safety-approved removal techniques like wet hand sanding or wet hand scraping

At O'Reilly Brothers Ltd, we provide efficient lead abatement solutions. No matter the challenge's uniqueness, you can trust us to deliver the safety you deserve.

Some features that you should consider when looking for safe insulation material are:

 

• It should resist moisture

• It should not contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

• It should not cause gassing

• It should be fire-resistant

• It should be natural and sustainable

• It should be easy to install
   

 

PREVENTING MOULD AND LEAD GROWTH

While mould and lead removal are necessary steps to ensure a safe and healthy environment, preventing their growth in the first place is key to avoiding the need for removal services in the future. Here are some tips on preventing mould and lead growth on your property:

 

• Ensure proper ventilation: Keep your property well-ventilated, especially in high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Use exhaust fans and open windows to increase airflow and reduce moisture levels.
   

• Address leaks promptly: Water leaks can lead to mould growth. Address leaks promptly and dry affected areas within 24-48 hours to prevent mould growth.
   

• Monitor humidity levels: Keep humidity below 60% to prevent mould growth. Use dehumidifiers in areas that tend to be more humid.
   

• Regular cleaning: Clean and disinfect surfaces prone to mould growth, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Use cleaning products that are effective against mould.
   

• Safe renovations: If your property was built before 1978, it may contain lead-based paint. Test for lead before renovations and hire a certified professional for safe removal.

Following these prevention tips can reduce the risk of mould and lead growth in your property, keeping you and your loved ones safe and healthy. Contact O'Reilly Brothers Ltd for efficient mould removal services to keep your family healthy and your property safe.
