Lead Paint in Homes

Lead Paint in Homes 


Lead paint was banned from use in homes in 1978, however, many older homes still contain paint in the exterior and interior paint.

Lead paint in homes is a serious health hazard. It can cause damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells. It can also cause miscarriages and developmental problems in children. 
When lead paint is disturbed, it is the most dangerous.  If the paint is sanded or scraped, the dust
particles can be inhaled or ingested, and therefore cause serious health issues.  If your home was built prior to 1978, or you suspect that lead is present in the paint, there are professional tests that can be
performed to determine the presence of lead.

If you are considering renovating, painting or remodeling your home that was built prior to 1978, you should highly consider testing the property for the presence of lead. A licensed professional painter that is certified in lead testing can perform this test for you. The Paint Bros is a licensed and certified lead painter in Grants Pass, Oregon.

If you are buying or renting a home, be sure to ask if it has lead paint. If your home does have lead paint, you should take steps to protect yourself and your family. First, remove all lead paint hazards. Second, use proper precautions when working with lead paint, such as wearing a respirator and gloves. Finally, clean up any lead paint debris promptly and properly.
