Lead Paint Removal

Are you worried about lead levels in your home or business? Despite once being widely used, lead paint is now recognised as a serious health hazard.

P&D Envirotech is a professional lead paint removal contractor for Wollongong and surrounding areas. We specialise in residential and commercial lead-based paint removal and abatement. We are highly trained, experienced, and equipped with the right tools to remove lead paint safely and efficiently.

Safe and Efficient Lead Paint Removal Services

Renovating and repainting your home can expose you, your family, and your pets to lead. Even small amounts of dust particles or chips from peeling paint can pose a health risk to a building’s occupants. If you live in a home built before 1970 when lead-based paints were widely used, you should have an assessment performed by professional lead paint removal contractors before any painting preparation, including scraping, sanding or stripping using solvents.

Lead can also be found in pipes, flashing, and household dust and can contaminate soil. It can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage, particularly in young children. It also poses risks to pregnant and breastfeeding women and the general population. Lead can build up in the body over time, causing health problems if exposure continues.

Professional lead paint removal methods from P&D Envirotech use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to improve indoor air quality and make the property a safer place to live or work.

Lead Paint Testing

Many heritage homes may contain lead paint. The only way to ensure your family or workers are not exposed to the health risks associated with lead paint is to have an inspection conducted by lead paint removal specialists.

According to the NSW EPA, businesses and homeowners should “assume paint in pre-1970 houses contains high levels of lead unless tests prove otherwise.” Lead-based paints can be found on timber or plaster walls, as a primer under paint, in framing around windows, on skirting boards, gutters, and metal surfaces such as wrought iron. Paint on a surface becomes dangerous to health as it peels, chips off, or begins to chalk.

P&D Envirotech can test homes and workplaces for lead paint using safe and reliable detection methods. This allows you to take steps to protect yourself from health risks, including abatement or encapsulation.

Residential Lead Paint Removal

If lead paint is found in your home, P&D Envirotech can advise whether containment or removal is the best method to address the issue. DIY lead paint removal is not recommended.

Our paint removal process and disposal methods follow best work practices using specialised precautions and certified procedures to prevent the spread of lead dust throughout your home or yard, leaving you with a safe living environment.

Commercial Lead Paint & Dust Removal

Employers who contact us about lead paint removal are often concerned about employee safety. P&D Envirotech’s advanced lead paint removal process ensures a safe and compliant commercial space. We also offer tailored solutions for businesses that minimise disruption to operations while effectively removing lead paint.

Lead Paint Encapsulation

While wet sanding and chemical stripping are often used during lead paint abatement, lead paint encapsulation can be a more suitable solution in certain circumstances.

Encapsulation involves covering the surface to ensure the lead is not disturbed, often providing a less consuming and more cost-effective method for dealing with lead paint.

Lead Dust Cleaning

Lead paint becomes a health hazard when dust, flakes, or fumes are inhaled or swallowed.

Dust that has accumulated over decades that is within vicinity of potential lead compound exposure may be required to be removed as part of a residential, commercial, or industrial building upgrade or renovation. As with other hazardous building materials such as asbestos, the best course of action is to use a professional lead paint removal service such as P&D Envirotech to manage the dangers.

Our professional management methods include wet scraping and sanding, chemical stripping, and sanding with a HEPA vacuum attachment where necessary. This thorough paint removal process conducted by trained professionals ensures no traces of lead dust are left in your home or business, completely removing the health risk.

Lead Paint Risk Assessments, Consultation and Planning

P&D Envirotech can arrange personalised consultation services, including a detailed assessment of your house or business building to assess the lead paint risks. Our Comprehensive reports will help you make informed choices about abatement or encapsulation methods.

We also use detailed planning processes to remove or manage lead paint efficiently and effectively, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and saving you time and money.
