Lead Certified Cleanup
Residential & Commercial
Lead-safe emergency cleanup for homes and businesses in Brewer, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and Central Maine. Penobscot Cleaning Services provides EPA RRP-certified containment and cleaning when lead hazards are encountered during restoration emergencies such as water damage or structural loss. Our technicians follow strict lead-safe practices to contain dust, protect occupants, and prevent contamination while completing emergency restoration work.
Lead Hazards Require Careful Handling.
Proper containment protects occupants and prevents dangerous dust exposure.
Homes and buildings constructed before 1978 often contain lead-based paint. When these surfaces are disturbed by water damage, structural failure, or other emergency conditions, hazardous lead dust and debris can spread quickly. Our RRP-certified technicians use containment procedures, specialized cleaning methods, and protective equipment to control contamination while performing emergency restoration work.
Important Service Limitation
Penobscot Cleaning Services does not perform standalone lead paint removal or abatement. Lead-safe cleanup is only performed when lead hazards are encountered during an active emergency restoration project, such as water damage or structural loss. During these situations, our technicians follow EPA RRP guidelines to safely contain and clean affected areas while completing the emergency work.
When Lead-Safe Cleanup May Be Needed
Lead-safe procedures may be required when emergency restoration affects older properties built before 1978. This can occur during incidents such as burst pipes, flooding, structural damage, or other emergencies that disturb painted surfaces or building materials containing lead.
