Lead Paint

 

Astar Abatement, Inc. (ASTAR) is headquartered near Charleston, West Virginia.  This strategic  location, at the confluence of 3 major Interstates, allows us to provide reliable, quick and efficient service to our clients.  In addition, our branch office in St. Pauls, NC provides key services to the nearby military facilities.

From the smallest residential project, to full-scale industrial, commercial and emergency work, the key to our success has always been the ability of our staff to meet a wide variety of industrial problems with innovative solutions.  Our ability to relate and react to the changing needs of our clients is critical to our performance and we place a high priority on satisfying those needs.

Lead is highly toxic.  Exposure to it can be dangerous, especially for children who are 6 or younger.  But lead is stable and easy to work with, so it has been used for many purposes in our homes.

Lead-based paint was used in most homes until 1960, and still used in some house paints until 1977.  In fact, lead is still used in the pigment of paint today, but at a much lower level.  Paint at friction points on window and door frames, and peeling paint on porches is most likely to present an exposure risk.

Someone who takes in only small amounts of lead can gradually develop lead poisoning.  Lead carried in a mother’s blood could pass to her unborn child.  Lead poisoning is usually a silent disease, and an affected person may seem to be well.  A blood lead level test can determine if someone has taken in too much lead, before there are any outward signs of illness.  Some of these signs include:  irritability, loss of appetite, weight loss, reduced attention span, difficulty sleeping, persistent tiredness or hyperactivity.

Simply put, the key to our success is you, our client.  ASTAR has always been able to meet and exceed your expectations with highly original and innovated solutions at reasonable compensation. 

At ASTAR ABATEMENT we can help you solve your lead-based paint problems.  Call us at (304) 984-4030.
