Services

Lead Abatement Services

AET’s lead remediation and abatement teams routinely perform paint removal actions within the tri-state area, specifically to comply with HUD regulatory agencies and for OSHA Lead in Construction compliance. AET’s services ensure workers and occupants of both residential and commercial structures are safe from the hazards of lead.

AET’s services can range in complexity from both small residential operations where routine components require special actions to absolve interior concerns about lead exposure to complex operations where large scale paint removal is required to facilitate the most stringent construction projects where worker impact is of the highest concern.
