FAQs
Why is there lead in my property?
Lead may be present in your home due to several factors. Older homes, particularly those built before the 1970s, often have lead-based paint, which can deteriorate over time, releasing lead dust or chips. Plumbing systems in older homes may also contain lead pipes or solder, which can leach into drinking water. Additionally, lead can be found in some imported products, such as ceramics, toys, or cosmetics. Contaminated soil around the home, often from historical industrial activities or leaded gasoline, can also introduce lead into the environment.
Should I test for lead-based paint before sanding?
Yes, you should definitely test for lead-based paint in older properties before sanding. Sanding can release harmful lead dust into the air, which can be dangerous if inhaled or ingested. Testing allows you to determine if lead is present so you can take appropriate precautions, such as using protective equipment or hiring a professional to handle the removal safely.
Where else can lead be found in residential properties?
Lead can also be found in ceiling cavities, particularly in older homes. This can occur if the ceiling or roof materials, such as paint, contain lead or if there is lead dust that has settled in the cavities over time. Additionally, if lead-based paint was used on surfaces above the ceiling, such as in attics or roof spaces, lead particles may have accumulated in the cavities. Disturbing these areas during renovations or repairs can release lead dust, so it’s important to test and take precautions if you suspect lead may be present.
