If your house was built before 1978, there is a real chance it has lead-based paint somewhere, often under newer layers you would never suspect. As that paint ages, chips, or gets disturbed, it creates lead dust and chips that are genuinely hazardous, especially to young children. Our lead removal in St. Peters, MO takes that worry off your plate by handling the problem safely, so your home is healthier and ready for whatever project you have in mind.

Where Lead Hides in Older Homes

Lead paint is not always where you would expect it, and it often hides beneath more recent coats. Our lead removal service addresses the common trouble spots, including:

Interior and exterior walls painted before 1978
Windows and window sills, where friction creates lead dust
Doors, door frames, trim, and baseboards
Porches, railings, and other exterior surfaces
Surfaces that are chipping, peeling, or chalking
Areas being opened up for a renovation or remodel

Older homes frequently carry more than one hazard from the same era, so if asbestos is also a concern, our asbestos removal team can take care of both at once and save you a second project.

Why Lead Is Such a Serious Health Risk

Lead is not a problem to shrug off. It is a toxic metal with no safe level of exposure, particularly for children under six. Even small amounts of lead dust can affect a child’s developing brain and nervous system, leading to lasting learning and behavior issues. Pregnant women are at serious risk too. Because lead dust is invisible and settles into floors and windowsills, families are often exposed without realizing it.

That is exactly why careful removal matters so much. The team at ProSteam Carpet Care and Restoration treats lead as the health hazard it is and works to protect your family throughout the process. To learn more about staying safe in the meantime, the EPA’s lead resource offers additional guidance.

What to Expect From Start to Finish

The process begins with an assessment. We evaluate your home, identify where lead is present, and explain what the work will involve along with a clear estimate.

From there, we move into safe removal and control. We contain the area to keep dust from spreading, use methods that follow the safe work practices the EPA lays out, and protect the rest of your home while we work. Keeping lead dust from traveling is the most important part of doing this right.

Finally, we finish with a careful cleanup. We remove all debris, clean the space thoroughly so no hazardous dust is left behind, and dispose of the material properly. Every step is handled by our own crews, so accountability stays with one team.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if there's lead paint in my home?

If your home was built before 1978, lead paint is a real possibility, often hidden under newer layers. Testing is the reliable way to confirm it, especially before any renovation that would disturb old paint.

Why is lead paint such a big deal for children?

Lead is a toxic metal with no safe level of exposure, and children under six are the most vulnerable. Small amounts of lead dust can harm a developing brain and nervous system, causing lasting learning and behavior problems.

Is it safe to stay home while lead is removed?

It depends on the size and location of the work. We contain the area and control dust carefully to protect the rest of your home, and we will talk honestly about whether staying or stepping out is best.

Should I test for lead before a renovation?

Yes, that is one of the smartest times to test. Renovations disturb old paint and can send lead dust through the home, so knowing beforehand lets you handle it safely instead of creating a hazard mid-project.

Can lead-based paint just be painted over instead of removed?

Painting over lead paint, sometimes called encapsulation, can work in certain cases, but it is not always a lasting fix, especially on surfaces that rub or take wear. We can assess your situation and recommend whether removal or another approach fits best.
