Lead
Removal

Lead-based materials were commonly used in homes and buildings constructed before the 1990s, particularly in paint, coatings, and some plumbing components. When disturbed during renovations, repairs, or demolition, lead-containing materials can create hazardous dust that may pose serious health risks.

Lead-related services may include:

  • Assessment of suspected lead-containing materials

  • Containment of work areas to prevent dust spread

  • Removal of lead-affected materials such as painted drywall, trim, or other building components

  • Safe handling, transportation, and disposal at approved facilities

  • Coordination with renovation or restoration work once removal is complete

McKay Environmental and Construction Services Inc. provides professional lead removal services with a strong focus on safety, containment, and proper disposal.

We help homeowners and property owners reduce exposure risks while ensuring work is completed responsibly and in compliance with applicable regulations.

Lead removal is often required before renovations, especially in older homes where sanding, cutting, or demolition could disturb lead-based paint.

Exposure to lead dust or particles can be harmful, particularly for children, pregnant individuals, and those with prolonged exposure. Health effects may occur even at low levels, which is why lead-containing materials should never be disturbed without proper precautions.

For trusted, Canadian-based information on lead exposure and health risks, we recommend reviewing guidance from Health Canada.
