Lead Based Paint Testing & Remediation Management

 Lead-based paints were used in many homes prior to 1978, which is the year that the federal government banned lead paints. Most documented cases of lead poisoning can be traced to lead contamination resulting from the degradation of such paints. Lead-based paints that are in good condition pose little risk, but those that begin to peel, chip, chalk, or crack do pose a health risk. As a licensed Texas Lead Firm, Alpha Environmental can evaluate your home or building for environmental concerns.

​

A lead-based paint inspection tells you the lead content of every different type of painted surface in your home. It won't tell you whether the paint is a hazard or how you should deal with it. The lead paint inspection is performed with an XRF, a handheld lead analyzer.

​

A lead risk assessment tells you if there are any sources of serious lead exposure, such as peeling paint and lead dust. It also tells you what actions to take to address these hazards.

A licensed Lead Abatement Project Designer must comply with the standards of operation including EPA and OSHA regulations in projects. Alpha Environmental can prepare written abatement project designs, develop a written occupant protection plan and prepare a written abatement report.
