What’s the Difference Between Remediation and Abatement?

Lead Remediation refers to controlling or containing lead-based paint hazards — often a required step for passing a lead inspection or receiving a Lead-Safe Certificate. Common remediation methods include:

  • Encapsulation with approved paint coatings
  • Stabilizing deteriorated surfaces
  • Safe repainting using EPA-certified techniques
  • Interim controls with maintenance plans

Lead Abatement is the permanent removal of lead hazards. It’s typically required when:

  • Abatement is court-ordered or mandated by regulation
  • A child has tested positive for elevated blood lead levels
  • Full Lead-Free Certification is the goal
  • HUD or grant-funded projects require it

Abatement may involve:

  • Paint removal using approved methods
  • Replacement of windows, doors, or trim
  • Full demolition of contaminated surfaces

Lew Environmental provides both remediation and abatement services — and we help you choose the right approach for your situation.

When Is Lead Remediation or Abatement Required?

You may need to take action if:

  • You’ve failed a lead paint inspection
  • A child under 6 lives in the unit and lead hazards are present
  • You’re applying for Lead-Free Certification
  • You’re performing renovation work subject to RRP Rule
  • A city, state, or HUD agency has issued an enforcement action or violation
  • You’re preparing a property for resale, tenant turnover, or financing
