Lead Risks

Lead poisoning is the leading environmental health risk to children in America today. Lead-based paint was commonly used in home and for other purposed before it was banned in the United States in 1978. If your property was built before 1978, any peeling or cracking paint should be inspected for lead contamination.

If lead is ingested, it can cause multiple health issues ranging from nervous system damage to death with the damage being immediate. Lead-based paint is dangerous to everyone, but it poses the greatest risk for small children because it is sweet tasting when consumed and the damage caused while they are still growing and developing is permanent and irreversible. It's important to be aware of symptoms of lead poisoning.

Loss of Appetite and Vomiting
Anemia
Apathy and Stupor
Hyper-irritability and Clumsiness
Abdominal Pain and Constipation
Lethargy and Listlessness

Even at very low exposures, lead poisoning can cause impaired growth, hearing loss, and developmental delays in small children. In addition to ingestion, lead particles can be inhaled, especially when the paint is disturbed. In this way, lead causes a significant risk to adults, especially pregnant women. This can cause many of the same symptoms in adults as children and lead to low birth weights, learning disabilities, birth defects, and still birth.

Customer Reviews

"Christian and Matt came out to inspect for what we considered a small leak in our wall. Little to our knowledge Christian pointed out a major problem that had to be reported to insurance. We are extremely impressed with the service he offered handling the insurance process front to back."

— Alisha Lewis

"From the first call I made to Christian with Lara Services, I knew we were going to be taken care of. After the Hurricane, Christian and his crew provided a quick and reasonable estimate. After I accepted the quote Lara Services showed up the next day and completed the entire demo on my home in one day. The remediation took 5 days but was ready to start rebuilding as soon as he was finished. I wish the rest of the build-back would have been as seamless as his services. Thank you, Christian. Job well done."
