Lead Removal and Encapsulation Services in Manitoba
Lead-based materials pose serious health risks, especially to children. Our certified team handles lead removal and encapsulation safely and in full compliance with Manitoba regulations.
Lead was commonly used in paint, pipes, and building materials until it was phased out in the late 1970s. It's still present in many older homes and commercial buildings across Manitoba.
Lead exposure is particularly dangerous for young children, where it can cause developmental delays and long-term neurological damage. In adults, prolonged exposure is linked to high blood pressure, kidney damage, and other serious health issues.
Where Is Lead Commonly Found?
Paint on walls, trim, doors, and windows in pre-1980 buildings
Old plumbing pipes and pipe fittings
Soil around older properties where exterior paint has deteriorated
Some older ceramic tiles and glazed surfaces
When Do You Need Lead Removal Or Encapsulation?
If you're renovating or demolishing a pre-1980 building, Manitoba regulations require that lead-containing materials be identified and properly handled before work begins. Lead paint that is deteriorating or being disturbed through construction activity needs to be addressed by a licensed professional.
Our Process
How We Handle Lead Removal And Encapsulation
We start with an assessment to identify lead-containing materials in your property. From there, we develop a plan and contain the work area. Depending on the situation, we either safely remove the lead materials or encapsulate them in place, following provincial guidelines. Once the work is complete, we provide documentation confirming the work has been completed to regulatory standards.
