Where Can You Commonly Find Lead on Your Property?
Before 1976, it was common to use lead in paint, plumbing materials, coatings, and other construction products, and even buildings built before 1990 may use materials with lead. Many older homes and commercial buildings throughout Maple Ridge may still contain these hidden lead hazards that create risks when materials begin to deteriorate or become disturbed during renovations.
Lead can commonly be found in older:
- Paint: Commonly used on walls, trim, siding, and other painted surfaces in older properties
- Soil: Contaminated from deteriorating exterior paint or past industrial activity
- Pipes: May contain lead materials that affect water quality and can enter drinking water
- Dust: Created when lead-containing materials are disturbed or begin to break down
- Windows and doors: Friction from opening and closing can release lead particles
We specialize in identifying and assessing lead hazards throughout residential and commercial properties. Our certified team can test materials, assess exposure risk, and recommend the safest lead abatement solution for your property.
