The Abatement Process
Our comprehensive lead abatement services include:
Inspection and Assessment: We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the presence and extent of lead-based materials. Utilizing the latest technology, we assess the areas at risk and devise a detailed plan for removal or stabilization.
Containment: To prevent the spread of lead dust and debris, we meticulously contain the affected area. Our strict containment procedures ensure that the rest of your property remains safe and uncontaminated during the abatement process.
Removal and Stabilization: Depending on the situation and regulatory requirements, we employ either removal or stabilization techniques. Removal involves the physical extraction of lead-based materials, while stabilization addresses the hazard through encapsulation or enclosure, making the lead-based paint hazard non-hazardous.
Cleanup and Disposal: Post-abatement, our team conducts a comprehensive cleanup to remove any residues from the abatement process. All lead-contaminated materials are safely disposed of according to state and federal regulations.
Final Inspection and Clearance Testing: To ensure the effectiveness of our work and the safety of the environment, a final inspection and clearance testing are performed. This step is crucial for verifying that the area meets safety standards and is free of lead-based hazards.

Lead Abatement Certification
Federal (United States) Requirements
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires individuals and firms performing lead-based paint activities, including lead abatement, to be certified under the EPA’s Lead-Based Paint Program.
- The certification includes training, testing, and on-the-job experience requirements.
- The EPA also requires lead abatement contractors to obtain liability insurance and follow federal lead abatement regulations.
Minnesota Requirements
- Individuals and companies performing lead abatement must be certified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).
- The certification program is called the Lead Abatement Contractor/Supervisor Program and includes training, testing, and on-the-job experience requirements.

It is important to note that Minnesota also requires any company performing renovation, repair, or painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 to be certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is known as the Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) program.
