LEAD-SAFE RENOVATION

Lead-Safe Renovation Information for Customers

Introduction Thank you for choosing us for your renovation project. Your safety is our top priority. As part of our commitment to responsible practices, we comply with the EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule. This document provides essential information about lead safety for homes built before 1978, when lead-based paints were widely used. Understanding Lead Hazards Lead exposure poses significant health risks, especially to young children and pregnant women. Renovation activities that disturb painted surfaces can release harmful lead dust and chips, which can be ingested or inhaled. Our Lead-Safe Practices We take the following steps to ensure safety and compliance: 1. Pre-Renovation Assessment: Before starting work, we assess the area to identify any presence of lead based paint 2. Containment: To prevent dust and debris from spreading, we establish containment zones. This includes: • Sealing off rooms with plastic sheeting • Using negative air pressure systems when needed 3. Safe Work Practices: Our team follows strict lead-safe procedures, including: • Using wet methods to minimize dust

• Avoiding power sanding or scraping methods that generate lead dust • Cleaning the workspace meticulously during and after the project

4. Post-Renovation Cleaning: Upon project completion, we clean thoroughly using HEPA vacuums and wet-cleaning methods to remove any remaining lead dust. 5. Clearance Testing: We recommend having a certified lead inspector conduct clearance testing to confirm that the area is safe for reoccupancy
