Lead Paint Abatement in Dartmouth, NS
Older Dartmouth and Halifax homes can have lead paint. We remove it safely with proper containment.
Lead paint abatement is the safe removal or containment of lead-based paint, common in homes built before 1980. We handle it with proper containment and disposal so the dust doesn't put your household at risk, across Dartmouth and Halifax.
Plenty of older homes around Dartmouth and Halifax still have lead paint under newer coats. It's usually fine while it's intact, but the moment it starts chipping, or you sand or renovate, it becomes lead dust, and that's the real hazard, especially for kids.
We deal with it the safe way: contain the area, control the dust, remove or seal the lead paint, and dispose of the waste properly. This isn't a DIY scraping job, and doing it wrong spreads the hazard through your home.
When to think about lead abatement
- You're renovating a home built before 1980
- Old paint is chipping, peeling, or flaking
- You're prepping an older home for young kids
- A home inspection flagged possible lead paint

Lead Paint Abatement: common questions
Do you handle both water damage and mold?
Yes. Water damage is the most common cause of mold, so we do both. We dry the structure properly first, then deal with any mold that's already started. One crew, one call.
My basement flooded. What's the first thing I should do?
Stay safe around any standing water and electrical. Shut off the water source if you can. Then call us. The faster water comes out and drying starts, the less damage and mold you'll deal with later.
Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document everything with photos and moisture readings and deal with your adjuster directly, so the claim is backed by proper evidence and goes through cleanly.
Can you tell if it's black mold?
Not just by colour. Plenty of dark mold isn't the toxic kind, and some that is doesn't look black. The only way to know for sure is a lab test. We swab or air-sample and send it off, then walk you through the results.
