Lead Based Paint Mitigation

Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which can become a health concern when it begins to chip, peel, crack, or is disturbed during renovations. Our lead-based paint mitigation services help reduce the risk of lead exposure by safely addressing affected areas and following proven containment and cleanup procedures.

Lead Paint Mitigation in St. Louis & the Metro East

AC Environmental helps homeowners, businesses and contractors plan work involving lead-based paint. From our Granite City, Illinois base, we serve St. Louis and surrounding Illinois and Missouri communities.

Share your existing reports, affected surfaces and renovation plans so we can discuss the appropriate mitigation scope. Projects roughly within a three-hour drive are considered by location and scope. View our service areas.

Lead Paint Project Questions

What do you need to review a project?

Send the property address, photos of affected surfaces, approximate dimensions, planned work and any lead inspection or risk assessment reports. Tell us whether the property is occupied and your expected timeline.

Can I contact you before a renovation?

Yes. Contact us before work begins so the affected surfaces, contractor coordination and requested scope can be discussed in advance.

Will every surface need to be removed?

The approach depends on the paint condition, surface, location and planned use. We discuss the proposed treatment and boundaries of the work with you during project planning.

How do you plan around an occupied property?

Tell us who uses the space and which rooms or access routes are affected. Work-area access, containment, cleanup and any post-work assessment should be discussed as part of the project scope.

For other property concerns, see asbestos abatement, mold remediation and water damage cleanup.

Step 4: Final Cleanup & Verification

A doorway is covered with blue plastic sheeting, and yellow caution signs warn of lead hazard and instruct authorized personnel to keep out. The sign also mentions no eating, drinking, or smoking in the area. The floor is wooden and appears to be worn or damaged.

The work area is carefully prepared and isolated to help prevent the spread of dust and debris. Protective measures are put in place before work begins.

Step 1: Evaluation

We assess the affected areas and review any available testing results to determine the best course of action. A customized mitigation plan is created for your property.

Step 2: Preparation & Containment

We thoroughly clean the work area and properly dispose of all debris. A final inspection is completed to ensure the project meets our standards.

Step 3: Lead Hazard Mitigation

Our team safely addresses lead-based paint hazards using approved work practices. The goal is to reduce the risk of lead exposure within your home or building.

HOUSE BUILT BEFORE 1990?

Vermiculite Insulation Containing Asbestos in Attics.

Vermiculite insulation, common in homes built before 1990, especially those with attic insulation, often contains dangerous, naturally occurring asbestos fibers, making undisturbed vermiculite a risk if disturbed by renovations or air leaks, requiring professional testing and removal/encapsulation to prevent serious lung diseases.
