The Hidden Danger in Older Properties
Before its ban from general sale in 1992, lead was commonly added to paint to speed up drying, increase durability, and resist moisture. Today, it poses a significant health hazard, particularly when old layers of paint begin to flake, chip, or are disturbed during renovation.
Lead dust is highly toxic. Inhalation or ingestion can lead to severe health complications, including neurological damage, especially in children and pregnant women. If you are planning to refurbish, sand, or demolish a property built before the 1990s, identifying the presence of lead paint is a critical safety requirement.
