Lead paint remediation (older homes, pre-1980 — regulated) in Syracuse
If your Syracuse home was built before 1980, there is a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. The federal government banned lead paint for residential use in 1978, but many homes in Syracuse's older neighborhoods were painted with it years earlier. Lead paint remediation is not a standard painting job. It is a regulated process that involves safely containing, removing, or encapsulating lead paint to prevent dust and chips from contaminating your home. This matters because lead exposure is a serious health risk, especially for children under six and pregnant women. In a city like Syracuse, where housing stock dates back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, lead paint is a real concern for homeowners, landlords, and anyone buying an older property.
The work begins with a thorough inspection and testing to identify where lead paint is present. We then set up containment areas using heavy plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent dust from spreading to other parts of the home. Depending on the condition of the paint and the surface, we may use wet scraping, chemical stripping, or encapsulation with a specialized coating that bonds to the lead paint and seals it in place. Sanding is never done dry because it creates airborne lead dust. All waste — including paint chips, plastic sheeting, and disposable coveralls — is double-bagged and disposed of according to EPA and New York State regulations. After the work is complete, we perform a thorough cleaning and a visual inspection to confirm the area is safe. For Syracuse properties, where lead paint is often found on window sashes, door frames, porches, and exterior trim, this process protects not only the structure but also the people who live in it.
