ASAP Environmental is qualified to perform state-certified risk assessment which could give you more time and more options for removing a lead hazard from your home or rental property.

The assessment will tell you about the extent of any lead hazard that exists and what temporary measures you must take to reduce the risk to children. After completing the work, the inspector will give you a “Letter of Interim Control.” You then have up to 2 years to complete all of the work required to remove the lead hazard permanently.

Perform “moderate-risk” deleading yourself!

New Massachusetts regulations give property owners more options than ever for removing a lead paint hazard from their homes. The new regulations allow trained homeowners and property managers to perform “moderate-risk” deleading, making it safe and more cost effective to eliminate a lead paint hazard yourself. For information about where to find training in Massachusetts, call the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at 1-800-532-9571.

Only a state-licensed lead removal firm can perform higher risk deleading. Get estimates from several firms before making a decision. Demand a written contract and don’t complete payment for the job until a letter of compliance with the law is issued to you.
