Lead Removal Service

Lead is very poisonous to the human body, though the use of lead has declined substantially in recent years. Still, there is a need to ensure that exposure to lead is minimized to prevent any health issues. Lead is found in the environment, soil, drinking water, food/drinks, and households. The procedure for lead paint removal is almost the same as asbestos removal and when remedial work is carried out by Xtreme environmental Group Inc. expert professionals every possible precaution is taken to ensure the lead is 100% removed from your property.

Important Source

The most important source in homes is exposure to lead paint. Lead in the home can cause serious long-term health problems and is well known to cause many forms of illnesses. Lead is a hazardous substance. Very young children are prone to these potential health effects as they mostly absorb lead by eating or touching contaminated dust then putting their fingers into their mouth. Parents must do a thorough check of their property in order to avoid unnecessary exposure of lead in children. Lead is also harmful to pregnant women.
