Why lead and asbestos abatement is essential in New Jersey homes and buildings?
New Jersey has a high number of older homes, schools, and commercial buildings—many of which still contain lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These substances pose serious health risks when disturbed during renovations, demolition, or damage from fire or water.
Lead exposure is especially dangerous for children, potentially causing developmental delays and behavioral issues. Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can lead to long-term respiratory conditions like mesothelioma.
That’s why expert lead and asbestos abatement in New Jersey is not only wise—it’s required by law for certain projects.
Where are lead and asbestos most commonly found in NJ properties?
In older properties, these hazardous materials are often hidden in plain sight. Common areas include:
- Lead-based paint on walls, doors, windows, and trim
- Asbestos insulation in attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC ductwork
- Asbestos tile or linoleum flooring
- Ceiling panels, pipe insulation, and joint compound
- Exterior siding and roofing shingles
If your property was built before 1980, there’s a strong chance it contains lead or asbestos that requires inspection or removal by certified professionals.
How professional abatement services work in New Jersey?
At Advanced Disaster Recovery Inc., our lead and asbestos abatement process follows strict New Jersey DEP and EPA guidelines to ensure safety and full compliance. Our certified team follows these steps:
- Site assessment and testing: We take air and material samples to confirm contamination.
- Containment setup: Plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems are used to isolate the area.
- Safe removal: Lead-based paint is stripped and asbestos materials are carefully bagged and removed using HEPA-filtered equipment.
- Decontamination and cleanup: Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed with HEPA systems.
- Final clearance testing: We verify that no hazardous materials remain before reoccupancy.
All waste is handled in accordance with local and federal disposal regulations.
When do you need lead or asbestos abatement?
You should consider expert abatement services in New Jersey when:
- You’re planning renovations in a pre-1980 structure
- Paint is peeling or deteriorating and could contain lead
- You discover old insulation, tiling, or textured walls during remodeling
- You’re dealing with fire or water damage that may have disturbed hazardous materials
Don’t attempt to remove these materials on your own. Improper handling increases health risks and can violate state laws.
