in Colorado

Properties built before 1978, including older homes, multi-family buildings, apartment complexes, churches, and older commercial spaces, are likely to contain lead-based paint or materials. Exposure to lead poses serious health risks, particularly to children, pregnant women, and the elderly, making proper abatement essential for creating a safe environment.


The first step in addressing potential lead hazards is hiring a certified lead inspector to assess your property. If lead is detected, regulated practices must be strictly followed to remove or encapsulate lead-containing materials safely and effectively.

What is Lead?

Lead is a toxic metal that was commonly used in paint, plumbing, and building materials before its health hazards were fully understood. Homes and buildings constructed before 1978 often contain lead-based paint, which can deteriorate over time into harmful dust and chips. Once ingested or inhaled, lead can accumulate in the body and cause serious health issues especially in children.

Health Risks Associated with Lead Exposure
