Why Lead Abatement Matters

At Key Construction, we understand that lead-based paint hazards present serious risks—especially in older buildings. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), lead abatement is the only way to permanently address lead hazards in pre‑1978 housing and child‑occupied facilities. Exposure to lead dust or peeling paint can lead to serious health issues, particularly for children and pregnant women. Our goal: help you protect occupants, comply with regulations, and enhance your property’s longevity.

Our Comprehensive Lead Abatement Process

We follow a structured, rigorous process so you know exactly what to expect—and get safe, trusted results.

1. Inspection & Risk Assessment

• A certified inspector reviews the building to locate lead‑based materials (LBMs) and friction surfaces (windows, doors, trim). ENVIRO NYC+1
• We assess hazard levels, occupant risk, building condition and regulatory status.
• You receive a detailed report and our recommendations for abatement scope.

2. Planned Abatement Strategy

• We develop a customized abatement plan that fits your building type, schedule and budget.
• Options may include removal, replacement, encapsulation or enclosure of lead surfaces. manhattanlead.com+1
• The plan includes safety protocols, containment, waste disposal and final clearance testing.

3. Certified Execution

• Our trained, certified technicians perform the work using industry‑approved methods and equipment (HEPA vacuums, negative‑pressure containment, protective gear). EIS Holdings+1
• We ensure occupant safety by isolating work zones, controlling dust, and following all regulatory work practices. Environmental Protection Agency+1
• Materials removed are properly labeled and disposed of per federal and state regulation.

4. Clearance Testing & Certification

• After abatement, we perform clearance testing (dust wipes, visual inspection) to verify that lead levels are safe. Core Environmental Solutions+1
• You receive a final report including test results and documentation of compliance—ready for resale, tenancy, or audit.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance

• Even after abatement, monitoring is prudent. We advise on maintenance best practices and identify when further review is needed (especially in historic properties). manhattanlead.com
• We provide guidance for renovation projects to avoid disturbing remaining lead materials.
