Commercial Lead Paint Removal in American Canyon, California

Most buildings built prior to the 1970s were painted with lead-based paint. When our technicians come to your American Canyon commercial property to evaluate the extent of the paint’s presence, we’ll ensure your property is safe and habitable. While we do not test for lead paint ourselves, we rely on a trustworthy third-party company that provides that service. Once the paint tests positive for lead, we will collaborate with you on which method is best for your situation.

In some cases, the lead paint can be abated with encapsulation or enclosure. Both methods can be long term but not permanent solutions. With encapsulation, the surfaces with lead paint can be covered with a protective coating that prevents the lead paint from affecting your health. Enclosure involves boarding up surfaces painted with lead paint with drywall, preventing particles from circulating into the rest of the building and damaging everyone’s health. Encapsulation and enclosure are both effective ways to provide protective barriers between the paint and you. However, down the line, you may want to consider removal or replacement.

The two more drastic but effective methods for mitigating lead paint are removal and replacement. With removal, our technicians will use wet sanding and other specialized equipment that will remove the lead paint and prevent it from negatively affecting your health. However, if the situation is more dire, then the areas may have to be just replaced with fresh materials.
