What Is Lead and Why Is It Dangerous?
Lead was once a common ingredient in paints, plumbing, and construction materials, especially in homes built before 1978. However, we now know even small amounts of lead exposure can cause serious health issues.
Lead exposure is especially dangerous to:
- Young children — causing developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral issues.
- Pregnant women — increasing risks of miscarriage and fetal harm.
- Adults — leading to kidney damage, high blood pressure, and nervous system disorders.
In addition to health risks, properties with lead hazards can face legal liabilities and costly remediation orders if left unaddressed. Safe removal is essential — and it must be done by trained, certified professionals.
Common Sources of Lead in Homes and Buildings
If your property was built before the late 1970s, lead hazards could be hiding in unexpected places, including:
- Lead-based paint on walls, ceilings, windows, doors, and exterior siding
- Dust contaminated by deteriorating lead paint
- Lead pipes, plumbing fixtures, and solder joints
- Soil around homes or buildings due to exterior lead paint or historic industrial use
Even surfaces that look intact can release dangerous lead dust during renovations, repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Our Lead Removal Process
At Dustless Demolition, we follow a strict, proven process to remove lead safely and completely:
1. Inspection and Testing
We conduct a thorough inspection using surface testing and lab analysis when needed to identify lead-containing materials and contamination risks.
2. Containment Setup
We carefully seal the work area with plastic barriers and use HEPA-filtered negative air machines to prevent the spread of lead dust into clean spaces.
3. Safe Lead Removal and Abatement
Depending on the condition and location of lead materials, we use specialized techniques to either fully remove the hazard or stabilize and encapsulate it to prevent exposure.
4. Site Cleanup and Clearance Testing
After removal, we perform a full HEPA vacuum and wet-wipe cleaning of the work area. If required, we arrange independent clearance testing to verify that the space is safe for reoccupation.
Throughout the process, we prioritize safety, thoroughness, and full compliance with WorkSafeBC, health, and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lead Removal
If your property was built before 1978, lead paint may have been used. Professional testing is the only way to confirm its presence.
Most homes built before 1978 are at risk of containing lead-based paint.
Homes built before 1960 are especially likely to have high lead levels in paint, plumbing, and other materials. If your property was built before 1978, it’s safest to inspect it before starting any renovations or demolition work.
Lead is most commonly found in:
- Paint on walls, ceilings, doors, trim, and windows — especially in homes built before 1978.
- Dust created when lead-based paint deteriorates, chips, or is disturbed during renovations.
- Soil around homes — often contaminated by exterior lead paint or industrial pollution.
- Plumbing — including old lead pipes, solder, and some brass fixtures in homes built before the mid-1980s.
- Older windows and doors — lead paint and friction surfaces create lead-contaminated dust as they open and close.
- Exterior siding, porches, and railings — painted surfaces exposed to weather are often a source of lead hazards.
Even intact lead-based paint can pose a risk over time as it ages, cracks, or is disturbed during maintenance and remodelling.
In most cases, occupants must vacate the immediate work area during lead removal. We seal off work zones to protect unaffected areas, but staying away during remediation is advised for full safety.
Lead hazards can cause chronic health problems and legal consequences. In many areas, property sales or renovations require lead disclosure or correction. Addressing lead adequately protects everyone and your investment.
