Here you see our tech Ray, carefully sanding away at some lead paint. This customer made the right choice by letting us handle this for him. Will you?

When it comes to lead paint removal, it isn't as simple as you think. Lead was put into paint to speed up the drying, increase durability, maintain a fresh appearance, and resist moisture that caused corrosion.Then the manufacturers later found out, as most of us know, lead is a metal that can cause serious health problems if ingested or inhaled as it is very toxic. With that being said, you must be very careful and cautious when removing lead-based paints from any surface. You should honestly leave it up to the pros...of SERVPRO Benicia/Martinez/Southeast Vallejo of course! We have the knowledge, equipment, and supplies to take care of your lead paint removal! We will make sure to contain all lead paint that is removed so it does not leak into your gutters, sidewalks, floor, or spread into the air. So, if you are thinking of repainting your home or office. First, check what year the structure was built. If it was before 1985, you most likely have lead based paint. If that is the case, give us a call to help you sand it down or carefully remove any chipped paint before you move forward with the fun part....painting!
