Certified Lead Abatement Services for Homes, Apartments, & Commercial Properties
Many homes, apartments, schools, and commercial buildings constructed before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. As painted surfaces age, deteriorate, or become disturbed during remodeling and repairs, lead dust and paint chips can create serious health risks for occupants, workers, and especially young children.
Advance Installations provides professional lead abatement and lead paint removal services throughout Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and surrounding Northern Nevada communities. Our team helps homeowners, contractors, property managers, and commercial property owners safely address lead-containing materials while maintaining EPA and OSHA compliance requirements.
Common Areas Where Lead-Based Paint May Be Found
Lead-based paint is often found on older painted surfaces, including:
- Windows and window trim
- Doors and door frames
- Baseboards and molding
- Exterior siding and painted trim
- Railings and stair systems
- Cabinets and built-in features
- Older commercial and multi-family properties
As painted surfaces rub, crack, peel, or deteriorate over time, lead-contaminated dust can spread throughout the property.
Why Professional Lead Abatement Matters
Lead exposure can occur when contaminated dust, paint chips, or debris are inhaled or ingested. Improper sanding, scraping, demolition, or paint removal can release lead particles into the air and contaminate surrounding rooms, HVAC systems, soil, and work areas.
Professional lead abatement procedures help:
- Reduce occupant exposure risks
- Prevent the spread of contaminated dust
- Protect workers and neighboring areas
- Support OSHA and EPA compliance
- Reduce property liability during renovation projects
Attempting to remove lead-based paint without proper containment and cleanup procedures may worsen contamination and increase health risks.
Lead Paint Testing, Stabilization & Removal
The only way to confirm the presence of lead-based paint is through professional testing performed by a licensed lead consultant or inspector.
In some cases, lead-based paint in good condition may be safely managed through stabilization or encapsulation methods designed to help prevent deterioration and dust generation. However, loose, damaged, peeling, or deteriorated paint often requires professional lead abatement before renovation or repainting can begin.
Our trained abatement crews understand where lead dust and paint debris commonly accumulate, including surrounding soil, landscaping, window tracks, and high-contact surfaces.
