Lead Removal Services
Handling lead can be hazardous as it is a highly toxic material that can cause severe neurological disorders and even cancer. Lead is often found in manufacturing, demolition, and renovation materials.
Where Can Lead Be Found
Commonly used in paints and coatings, lead is still found in many older homes in Vancouver's Lower Mainland. Removing lead-based paint or demolishing walls that are coated with lead can release lead dust into the air which could be breathed in if not wearing proper masks.
