Professional Lead Abatement Services
Lead exposure affects a facility's compliance and safety ratings, which can have incredibly hazardous real-world implications and affect the well-being of customers, coworkers, and vendors. Serious health risks can come about from exposure to lead, including high blood pressure, joint pain, reproductive issues, and more.
Vulcan Painters provides industry-leading lead abatement services to create a safe environment for everyone. We offer certified solutions (QP1 + QP2) for a variety of industries, using abatement methods that comply with regulatory standards for safer removal and management of hazardous coating material in the field.
Our Lead Abatement Services
Our lead abatement services specialize in the following areas:
Lead Paint Removal
We use a closely monitored process to safely and effectively remove lead paint based on the type and level of containment and ventilation required (negative air pressure in the containment). This process helps prevent related health issues and protects your assets.
Our process starts with a site assessment to determine the level of lead concentration and the most appropriate abatement approach. Additionally, we can schedule our industrial lead paint removal at the least disruptive hours to minimize the impact on your operations.
Hazardous Material Management
Managing and disposing of hazardous materials is as important as the abatement process. We offer a comprehensive hazard management service, from risk assessment and site survey to final lead testing and documentation.
Additionally, our team is trained and certified in handling different types of hazardous materials. For example, lead particles require HEPA-filtered instruments to prevent airborne contamination.
Containment and Ventilation
We rely on specialized containment and ventilation systems to protect building occupants, our crew, and surrounding areas from lead exposure.
We install high-efficiency air filtration systems to capture airborne lead materials and seal off the site. We also monitor air quality within the work area to prevent lead inhalation.
