Lead Paint Removal

IT'S THE LAW

Federal law (40 CFR Part 745) requires that painted surfaces in buildings built before 1978 to be certified and follow a specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. Always ask to see your contractor's certification.

IN CALIFORNIA

Lead safe practices and containment are required on all structures (not just target housing and child-occupied facilities) built before 1978 if you disturb ANY known lead-based paint (the paint has been tested) or ANY amount of pre-'78 paint that hasn't been tested. The untested paint is called "presumed" lead based paint. So, if the paint has not been tested, you must assume it is lead-based and you have to use lead safe work practices and containment no matter how small the job is.
