Understanding Commercial Lead Abatement
Lead contamination in commercial properties presents serious health risks and regulatory challenges. Our experience at Umbrella Environmental shows that many business owners understand lead is hazardous but may not fully grasp the complexities of proper handling and disposal. As certified commercial lead abatement service specialists, we provide comprehensive solutions for businesses dealing with lead-based paint and other lead hazards, ensuring your property meets all safety standards while minimizing disruption to your operations.
The Importance of Professional Testing
While only about 5-10% of commercial properties come to Umbrella Environmental with existing lead testing, understanding your property's lead status is crucial. Our commercial lead removal service team can help you:
- Evaluate whether testing is necessary based on building age
- Arrange professional lead risk assessment and/or testing if needed or required
- Work with existing test results
- Develop solutions based on building age (pre-1978 structures often contain lead-based paint)

Every commercial lead abatement project at Umbrella Environmental begins with a thorough on-site assessment. Our process includes:

- Access requirements for equipment and dumpsters
- Electrical and structural considerations
- Content removal or protection needs
- Precise square footage measurements

Protecting Your Business
Health & Safety Impacts
Unaddressed lead hazards pose significant risks:

Lead Issues & Selling Your Building/Business
