Why Lead and Asbestos Removal Is Still a Major Concern in Connecticut Homes?
Connecticut has a large stock of pre-1980 homes, many of which were built with materials that are now known to be hazardous. Lead-based paint was widely used before being banned in residential settings, and asbestos was a go-to choice for insulation and fireproofing. These materials may still be present in walls, floors, ceilings, and insulation—even if you can’t see them.
When these materials are disturbed by renovations, repairs, or damage, dangerous particles are released into the air. Inhalation or ingestion of these particles can cause long-term health problems, especially for children, pregnant women, and older adults. That’s why proper abatement is not optional—it’s essential.
Where Lead and Asbestos Are Commonly Found in Connecticut Buildings?
Both lead and asbestos are often hidden in common places within residential and commercial structures. Our certified inspection teams in Connecticut often find them in:
- Peeling or cracking interior paint
- Old window sills, doors, and frames
- Ceiling tiles and popcorn ceilings
- Vinyl flooring and adhesives
- Pipe and duct insulation in attics and basements
- Boiler rooms, chimneys, and crawl spaces
If you’re unsure about the presence of these materials, it’s best to have a professional inspection before beginning any renovations or repairs.

- Inspection and Testing: We begin with certified sampling and lab testing to confirm the presence and location of hazardous materials.

- Safe Removal: Our team uses protective suits, HEPA vacuums, and specialized equipment to remove all contaminated materials.
- Cleaning and Clearance: The site is thoroughly cleaned and air-tested to ensure all contaminants are removed before it is declared safe.
- Proper Disposal: All waste is securely transported and disposed of in accordance with EPA and Connecticut DEEP regulations.
This process protects occupants, workers, and neighbors, while ensuring your home or facility is legally compliant and ready for safe occupancy.
Why DIY Lead or Asbestos Removal Is Unsafe and Illegal?
In Connecticut, you are not legally allowed to remove asbestos or lead-based materials from most residential or commercial properties unless you’re licensed and certified to do so. Even attempting to scrape off lead paint or tear out asbestos insulation on your own can result in contamination of the entire property—and serious health risks.
Common dangers of DIY removal include:
- Releasing toxic particles into your home’s air system
- Exposing children and pets to long-term health hazards
- Violating state and federal abatement laws
- Damaging property value due to improper cleanup
When it comes to hazardous materials, cutting corners is never worth the risk. It’s safer, smarter, and legally required to hire certified abatement experts.
