Whether you are planning renovations, purchasing an older property, managing rental units, or addressing peeling paint and dust concerns, our certified team delivers thorough inspections, testing, containment, removal, and clearance verification. We help homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial property owners protect occupants and meet federal and state safety regulations.

Why Lead Abatement Is Critical in Maine

Maine has a large inventory of older homes and buildings constructed decades before lead-based paint was banned. Properties in Bangor, Ellsworth, Newport, and surrounding communities frequently contain original building materials that may pose lead hazards when disturbed.

Common high-risk areas include:

Peeling or chipping interior and exterior paint
Window sashes and door frames
Basement walls and foundations
Porches, trim, and siding
Renovation or demolition zones
Soil surrounding older foundations
Dust accumulation from friction surfaces

There is no safe level of lead exposure. Professional abatement ensures contaminants are properly identified, contained, and removed without spreading hazardous dust.
