Lead Remediation
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that poses serious health risks, particularly to children and pregnant women. Found in older paints, pipes, and contaminated soil, lead must be handled with strict safety protocols. STOS Environmental LLC provides safe, EPA-compliant lead remediation across Phoenix and all of Arizona.
Our licensed, insured, and bonded team safely removes and cleans up lead-based paint and other lead-contaminated materials, protecting your family, your workers, and the environment. If your older property may contain lead, we're here to help you make it safe.
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes and buildings built before 1978, when it was banned for residential use. Over time, this paint can chip, peel, or break down into hazardous dust that's easily inhaled or ingested. Lead can also be present in old plumbing, contaminated soil, and certain industrial materials. Lead remediation is the regulated process of safely removing or containing these hazards.
Our remediation process begins with testing to identify the presence and extent of lead contamination. We then develop a removal and cleanup plan that meets EPA standards, using containment and dust control methods to prevent the spread of lead dust during the work. Our trained technicians remove lead-based paint and contaminated materials using safe, approved techniques, and we perform thorough cleaning and clearance testing to verify the space is safe.
The health risks of lead exposure are well-documented and especially concerning for children. Lead poisoning can cause developmental delays, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and damage to the nervous system and organs. Even low levels of exposure can have lasting effects, which is why lead remediation is not a do-it-yourself job. Disturbing lead paint without proper controls can actually spread the contamination and increase the danger.
In Arizona, many older homes and commercial buildings still contain lead-based paint, making lead remediation an important consideration during renovation, remodeling, and demolition projects. Federal and state regulations require specific procedures for working in buildings that contain lead. STOS Environmental LLC follows these regulations to the letter, keeping your project compliant and your occupants safe.
We serve residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout the greater Phoenix area and statewide. Our licensed, insured, and bonded team combines lead remediation expertise with related environmental services like asbestos abatement, mold remediation, and environmental testing, so you have one trusted partner for all your environmental needs.

Lead paint chips and degrades into hazardous dust that is especially harmful to children and pregnant women, causing developmental and neurological damage.
Very likely. Lead-based paint was used widely before its 1978 ban. If you're renovating an older Phoenix-area home, professional testing is strongly recommended.
Only with proper EPA-compliant controls. Disturbing lead paint without containment spreads dangerous dust — which is why professional remediation is essential.
