Lead Paint Removal

Lead-based paint can lead to lead poisoning, which occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over months or years. Even small amounts of lead can cause serious health problems. Children younger than 6 years are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can severely affect mental and physical development. At very high levels, lead poisoning can be fatal.

Lead can wind up in the body when paint chips are consumed (generally an issue with little children, who like any parent would know often put things in their mouth), or when lead dust is dispersed through the air – typically from sanding.

Other sources include contaminated air, water and soil. Adults who work with batteries, do home renovations or work in auto repair shops also might be exposed to lead. There is treatment for lead poisoning, but taking some simple precautions can help protect you and your family from lead exposure before harm is done.

During the initial assessment, we may determine that your home has no signs of a large-scale paint failure. If this is the case, then your home is in remarkable condition and the coat of paint is intact and won’t be an issue, at least until wear and tear occurs.

Given that most homes with lead paint are quite old, the likelihood that no paint failure or damage from exposure has occurred is quite low.

If the coatings are intact but you’re looking to repaint the home, we can encapsulate the existing lead paint so you can safely paint over the top of it, and seal the lead underneath.

If you’re unsure whether your home has lead-based paint, there are lead-detecting tests designed for coats of paint. Any number of lead paint removal companies, including Baz Painting Services, will be able to test the paint for traces of lead. Typically any house built before 1970 in Melbourne might have lead paint, and this holds true in several area in Melbourne. The earlier you go back in time towards the 40’s, the higher the concentration of lead.

Exact project times will vary between households, but in general it can take 2 to 3 weeks to carry out our lead paint removal service, based on the size of the project and how difficult it is to remove the coatings. This can take some time, but we will work to be as minimally intrusive as possible – it’s important to take the time to ensure lead paint is removed safely.

Baz Painting Services uses Alderson Sanders back pack sanding machines to safely and efficiently remove lead paint. Enviromats are used to allow water to flow through, though catch all paint flakes, eliminating contamination of surrounding areas. Protective gear is worn by our painters, and signage and barriers are used as necessary, to keep everyone safe. As leaders in paint stripping Melbourne, you can trust Baz Painting Services.
