Commercial and Industrial contractors have several options for dealing with lead based paint; the trick is finding the best solution – one that provides a safer work environment, is cost-effective, easy to use, and eco-friendly. According to the US EPA, lead-based paint removal costs are estimated at $8 -$15 a square foot; a house of 1,200-2,000 square feet could run as much as $9,600 -$30,000.
The following table provides a summary of key considerations for selecting your lead based paint mitigation product.
Uses of Lead Defender®
Any painted structure built before 1978 very likely contains lead based paint; the older the structure the more likely there are multiple layers of lead paint thus containing higher concentrations of lead. Even if the structure has been repainted, covering up lead paint does not remove the lead hazard. Lead Defender® provides cost-effective solutions for typical interior and exterior lead paint projects such as:
- Lead Paint Renovation (buildings, structures, tanks, etc.)
- Prior to Lead Paint Component Removal (peeling and chipping lead paint)
- Lead Paint Demolition (bridges, buildings, siding, windows, doors, etc.)
- Disaster Recovery (to address lead paint/dust issues)
Lead Defender® is also mold, mildew and fire resistant!
Interested in Lead Paint Component Removal?
Remove Lead Paint Component: Lead Defender® is unique because you can use it to seal and treat the lead dust and lead paint prior to component removal - Paint it on, Leave it on! No need to strip the paint prior to disposal.
Disposal of Treated Lead Paint or Lead Paint Components: Through the proper application of Lead Defender®, removed and collected solid waste will typically pass the RCRA TCLP test as non-hazardous for lead. As disposal and sampling requirements vary by state and locality; check with your local agencies for additional requirements.
