Home / Deleading & Renovations
Deleading removes the lead hazards in a home so it can gain a Letter of Compliance.
The first step is a Comprehensive Initial Inspection by a licensed lead inspector. Your inspection report lists every component in the house, the lead levels found and whether each is a hazard. If no hazards are found, the process ends there and you receive an Initial Letter of Compliance.
If lead hazards are found, the next step is to hire a licensed deleader to remove them. They’ll use your inspection report to identify each hazard and remove it using a variety of methods. Different deleading companies may choose different methods, so it’s always good to talk to several contractors before choosing the right one for your needs.
Some work can be done by you or your agents. Deleading is broken into three types: high-risk, moderate-risk and low-risk. High-risk deleading can only be done by a licensed deleader. Moderate-risk deleading can be done by an owner or agent who has taken a one-day (8-hour) training course and passed a short state exam.
Instead of the one-day course, owners and agents may read an online information pamphlet and mail the completed test to the state lead program. The pamphlet is available from the Massachusetts CLPPP.
Once the work is done, the next step is a reinspection by a lead inspector. The inspector checks all the work and makes sure every hazard in the original report was addressed. If the workmanship is adequate, dust wipes are taken (the number and location vary with the scope of the work). If the dust wipes pass, the corresponding compliance document is issued.
