DETAILED QUOTE OF METHODS
METHODS OF LEAD REMEDIATION
Enclosure
Encloses the painted surface with a durable substance such as paneling, drywall, metal siding or some other
construction material designed to last a minimum of 20 years. This methodology provides a complete barrier
to the lead components, however, with enclosure, the lead is not removed from the home and it often
changes the look of the home.
Lead Paint Encapsulation
Coats or seals the lead-based paint with a durable coating applied as liquid to the painted surface (in several coats).
You cannot use encapsulants on areas subject to friction or rubbing such as windows, floors and thresholds.
Encapsulation is not a permanent solution, however, it allows the homeowner to keep the unique or hard to
replace woodwork and doors. This solution is often ideal for homeowners that do not experience a lot of
“wear and tear” on their homes as the areas that are encapsulated will need to be maintained on a regular basis.
Encapsulants will only be applied if they pass the “X-Cut Test.” If the component fails the “X-Cut Test,” a different
methodology must be chosen.
Lead Paint Removal
Scraping - Separate the paint from the substrate through a wet scraping process and dispose of the removed paint.
The benefit is that removal of the part is not required so we can save hard to replace woodwork. But the drawback
is that the part will not look like new after being scraped as the effects of scraping can be seen.
Chemical Stripping (Dipping) - Old paint is removed with by a chemical bath. This is done off-site with Tustic soda
acid. The bath takes four to six hours and then the part is hand sanded. For larger pieces the lead paint is removed
through the hand application of Tustic soda acid and the part is sanded to remove burrs and irregularities. The
benefit this approach is that we can save difficult to replace woodwork. The drawback is that the removal and
replacement of these pieces is expensive and can cause extensive damage to the surrounding walls which will
require repair.
Making Intact- This method of lead remediation is often used when a hazard on a lead inspection report is listed as
“loose.” In order to comply with Massachusetts law, any visible loose paint must be flaked off of the component. To
ensure that the surrounding paint is adhered to the component and will stay intact, a layer of paint or primer must
be applied over the flaked areas. Making intact does not include the repainting of entire components.

Replacement
Remove the component (door, window, baseboards, casings, etc..) and replace them with new components. This
methodology ensures completely elimination of all lead paint. This also allows homeowner to update the home with
newer more energy efficient windows and doors often resulting in substantial energy savings. Depending on the
new materials used, this can be a more expensive methodology, however. It also means that period pieces that are
not replaceable will have to be substituted with more modern components.
PREPARATION OF THE WORKSITE IS CRITICAL
State laws require that the worksite be completely sealed off from the outside so that no lead dust escapes. This
requires not only the creation of a clean room but also requires that a complete barrier of two layers of 6 mil poly
plastic is installed throughout the work area to capture all lead paint flakes and dust. Negative air machines are used
to ensure that all lead dust remains contained in the work area. Workers must wear full face respirators and
protective Tyvek suits. Every time a worker leaves the work area the Tyvek suit must be discarded (as hazardous
waste) and a new suit donned before re-entering the work area. The area must be secured to ensure that
homeowners and other third parties are not at risk. Towards this end,signs must be prominently displayed that
prohibit entry and warn people about the lead hazard risk that exists during the remediation process.
Every employee that is on site must be licensed by the state of Massachusetts and must have a current physical
(annual), current blood work (required every three months) and fit test (ton ensure that the respirator fits properly).
These records, along with all licenses must be kept by the supervisor on the job site and must be available for
inspection in the event of a surprise State inspection. Because of the extensive amount of work required to prepare
a dwelling for de-leading, a normal size house (2,000 square feet) will generally require three men for eight hours.
POST DE-LEADING CLEANING
In order to obtain a letter of Re-occupancy or a Certificate of Compliance, a third party lead inspector must perform
a wipe tests of the interior of the dwelling. The Inspector will take seven wipes. These wipes are then sent to an
independent lab. The level of lead must be lower than state mandated maximums. In Massachusetts, surface wipe
levels for floors must be below 40 ugPb/ft2, window sills below 250 ugPb/ft2, and window troughs below
400 ugPb/ft2. If the wipe test fails that dwelling must be cleaned again and the test must be re-performed. A letter
of Re-occupancy or a Certificate of Compliance cannot be issued until the wipe test is passed. Because of the critical
nature of this test, cleaning of a normal size home (2,000 square feet) will require three men for eight hours.
In order to ensure a successful wipe test, the workers must remove all layers of protective plastic. This plastic must
be removed from the property and properly disposed of prior to the inspector performing the wipe tests. After the
plastic is removed, a dry HEPAVAC system is used to remove any remaining lead dust. A wet HEPAVAC system is
then employed to capture any dust particles that were not captured by the dry system. All window sills and other
areas unable to be vacuumed are blown out with airless paint sprayer and wiped down with appropriate cleaning
agents. Prior to inspection a final sweep of the dwelling is done with the dry HEPAVAC. Air-scrubbers are left on
until final approval.
After the wipe test has passed, the de-leading workers can operate without full hazard gear, allowing them to operate
more freely. Oftentimes, final painting and touch up will be done after the home has passed inspection.
