Stabilize deteriorating paint on an invited Milwaukee home — certified crew work
Documented peeling paint on a north side Milwaukee home stays a poisoning source until an RRP-certified crew wet-scrapes, primes, and seals it under containment. This is the credentialed rung the survey feeds, and the city's lead burden makes every completed address count. Standard: EPA RRP lead-safe work practices + HUD paint stabilization standard; SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being. Proof: RRP-compliant containment, stabilization, and cleanup photos with certification Method (EPA RRP lead-safe work practices + HUD paint stabilization standard; SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being.): 1. Hold current RRP certification and confirm the occupant's invitation and posted notice. 2. Set containment sheeting and wet methods per RRP before disturbing any surface. 3. Wet-scrape loose paint, prime bare areas, and topcoat sealed. 4. Clean to RRP clearance practice and bag waste per rule. 5. Photograph containment, stabilized areas, and cleanup with GPS and date on and record the certification number. Done when: RRP-compliant containment, stabilization, and cleanup photos with certification
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 120–240 minutes. Method of record: EPA RRP-certified renovator hands-on lead-safe paint stabilization (containment, wet methods, HEPA-vacuum cleanup, clearance verification) on a pre-1978 home's deteriorated painted surfaces, per 40 CFR Part 745 Subpart E
Bring
- EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm credentials + RRP-compliant containment sheeting
- wet-sanding/wet-scraping tools (no dry sanding/scraping, no open-flame burning)
- HEPA vacuum + HEPA-filtered respirator/PPE per the RRP work-practice standards
- post-work clearance dust-wipe test kit
Steps
- 1. ASSESS: confirm the certified-firm/renovator credential and the pre-work lead-hazard-document-survey findings (which surfaces, which planned disturbance); set up RRP-compliant containment (plastic sheeting, warning signs, occupant/child exclusion from the work area) before any disturbance.
- 2. Stabilize the deteriorated paint using RRP-compliant wet methods only (wet scraping/wet sanding, or a HEPA-shrouded tool) — never dry sanding, dry scraping or open-flame burning.
- 3. Prime and finish-coat the stabilized surface with the agreed paint/finish; keep containment in place until cleanup is complete.
- 4. Perform RRP cleanup: HEPA-vacuum all surfaces and the containment area, wet-wipe, and verify with the post-work cleaning verification / clearance dust-wipe method.
- 5. Remove containment only after clearance passes; photograph the finished surface and file the RRP compliance record (firm certification, work practices used, cleanup verification) with the household.
If it does not match the plan
- Any planned dry sanding, dry scraping or open-flame paint removal -> STOP, RRP-compliant wet/HEPA methods only.
- Post-cleanup clearance/cleaning verification fails -> re-clean and re-test before removing containment; never leave a failed-clearance area open to the household.
- Any occupant/child not excluded from the contained work area during disturbance -> STOP work until they are clear.
What counts as done
- Certified-firm/renovator credential and containment set up and photographed before any disturbance
- Only RRP-compliant wet work practices used (photographed) — no dry sanding/scraping/open-flame
- HEPA-vacuum cleanup + clearance/cleaning verification passed and documented
- Finished surface photographed + RRP compliance record filed with the household
