Lead, mold, and asbestos are environmental hazards that each pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Therefore, it is important that they be evaluated and removed by a qualified environmental remediation specialist. These three hazardous materials can be found in some of the most common places:

• Lead was an ingredient in most house paint before its use was banned in 1977, so it can still be found in many older buildings' interior and exterior walls. It can also be found in some ceramic tile.
• Asbestos was a common building material used in homes, offices, and other facilities before it was banned in 1978. It, too, can still be found in many older buildings, in a variety of heat- and sound-insulated materials such as popcorn ceilings and drywall plaster.
• Mold can grow anyplace that is moist, and it may remain dormant inside walls for years before renewed contact with water makes it noticeable.

At Enkay Engineering, we are experts at eliminating hazards like these quickly and safely. We've worked in a variety of settings on projects of all sizes, and we always leave our clients' homes, businesses, and other buildings safer than we found them. We install critical barriers around the hazard area to prevent the spread of toxic particles during removal, and we dispose of all hazardous materials according to EPA regulations. We may even be able to bill your insurance for the cost of the project. Call Enkay Engineering today to schedule your free evaluation and estimate.

Lead Removal, Santa Monica, CA

As one of the oldest and most experienced environmental contractors in the state, we're well-qualified to accurately assess and safely resolve any lead problem. We offer expert lead-based paint testing, consultation, and remediation services, and we meet (and in most cases exceed) environmental remediation standards set by EPA, OSHA, and other government agencies.

Approximately 40% of homes in the US today contain lead-based paint. This is a health hazard because, as the paint ages, it cracks, flakes, and otherwise deteriorates, which produces lead dust that can be ingested through hand-to-mouth contact. Lead dust can also be produced by repainting or remodeling. Lead-based paint is especially dangerous for small children, who sometimes eat the paint chips. Lead hazards pose a number of serious health risks (learn more on our FAQ page), so it is important that any suspected lead problem be assessed and, if needed, removed by experienced, certified professionals.

We can contain and remove lead hazards of all sizes, and we take every precaution necessary to ensure your complete safety. We establish critical barriers around the hazard area to prevent the spread of toxic particles, and we dispose of all materials safely in full accordance with EPA regulations. In fact, we are Lead-Safe certified by the EPA. We offer free evaluations and estimates for lead removal in Santa Monica, so call us today to schedule yours. We will assess your site and determine whether there is a lead hazard. If there is, we can provide a fast, effective, and affordable solution for removal.

As of April 22, 2010, the EPA requires special certification for all renovators who plan to work in homes built before 1978 and who will disrupt more than six square-feet of lead-based paint. Make sure your contractor is properly certified.
