Let's Answer Your Questions
If your home or building was built before 1978, there’s a high likelihood that it contains lead-based paint or lead-contaminated dust. The City of Chicago requires landlords and property owners to address lead hazards—especially in buildings with young children. EHC Industries offers professional lead testing to identify risks and guide the next steps.
Yes. In Chicago, federal and state regulations mandate lead-safe work practices in housing and child-occupied facilities. Property owners must comply with the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act and Illinois Department of Public Health standards. EHC Industries is a certified contractor that ensures your property meets all local and federal compliance requirements.
Our lead remediation services include containment of affected areas, removal or stabilization of lead-based paint, and thorough cleanup with HEPA-filtered vacuums and testing. In Chicago, we often work in schools, homes, and commercial buildings where lead hazards pose health risks. EHC Industries customizes each project based on contamination level and property type.
Even intact lead-based paint can become hazardous over time—especially if disturbed during renovation or repair work. Friction surfaces like windows and doors can release harmful lead dust into the air. In Chicago, many older buildings hide these risks. EHC Industries offers preventive solutions even before deterioration occurs, keeping occupants safe long-term.
The cost of lead remediation depends on the size of the space, level of contamination, and the method used (removal vs. encapsulation). Small residential projects may cost a few thousand dollars, while large-scale commercial remediation can run higher. EHC Industries offers free consultations in the Chicago area to provide accurate and transparent pricing.
