The Importance of Safe Lead Remediation in Chicago’s Older Homes
Chicago is a city rich in history and architectural charm. But with its older homes and buildings comes an invisible danger: lead. Commonly found in paints, pipes, and other materials used before 1978, lead can pose serious health risks if left untreated. From developmental issues in children to kidney problems in adults, lead exposure affects people of all ages.
The scope of this issue is massive. The CDC estimates that over 24 million homes in the U.S. still contain significant lead-based hazards, with many concentrated in older cities like Chicago. That’s why proactive lead remediation is essential, especially for property owners looking to create safer spaces for their families or tenants.
