Lead Paint Removal from Concrete

Lead Abatement and Industrial Deleading is a challenging job. Forced to tread carefully, abatement contractors must comply with local, state, and national regulations. Often, it’s hard to keep up with the changing laws.

Contractors can better contain operations when deleading with Sponge-Jet. Due to the pliant and porous nature of Sponge Media, abrasive rebound and ricochet are dramatically lower compared to ordinary abrasives. Sponge Media is less likely to puncture poly (or other plastic) containment; and thus, it greatly reduces containment failure and the unwanted dust migration to areas outside containment.
