New York State Lead Handling Certification

New York State Lead Handling Certification / Certification #NAT-F150361-1

Lead is a mineral that was once used in materials on properties and in housing on Long Island and the 5 Boroughs.

When using lead was a normal building material for the construction industry, most property owners were unaware of its dangers. Today we are more aware of the detrimental health effects of this toxic material.

Lead exposure can be dangerous to children and if not detected early can lead to Damage to the brain and nervous system, behavior and learning problems (such as hyperactivity), slowed growth, hearing problems and headaches. Adult women can have difficulties during pregnancy. Adults can also experience High blood pressure, Digestive problems, Nerve disorders, Memory and concentration problems and Muscle and Joint pains.

Lead based paint that is in good condition is usually not a hazard. Peeling, chipping, chalking or Cracking Lead-Based Paint is a hazard and needs immediate attention. Keep your family, property and business safe by staying one step ahead of lead exposure.

Careful Removal of Lead

If we do find signs or samples of lead, our process looks a little like this:

• We will contain the area to be renovated and abated.
• We will thoroughly wet the area in order to best contain the lead fibers.
• We will break down lead materials and dispose of them safely, keeping everything wet and separate from any other property or area.
• Once the area or property has been cleared and safe we will repair and rebuild the area.
• Lastly, we will leave your property safe, clean, and ready to move back in.
