Lead Abatement Paint

3 years ago

My husband and I recently purchased a home built in 1950. There is a lead paint issue to deal with in most of the rooms.


We've purchased several brands of lead-encapsulating paint and we're having bad luck. The lead test kit remains positive after vacuuming rooms top to bottom with a professional-grade HEPA vac, washing with lead-chelating detergents, and spraying the walls and trim with at least 2-3 coats of encapsulating paint.


We think it's the paint we're using and not lead dust in the air because the floors DO NOT test positive for lead.


Does anyone have insight into this situation? We will call the manufactures of the painting products that we're using tomorrow. If these products work, we certainly cannot tell at this point! Thanks for reading.
