Stabilize the documented lead-paint surfaces at an invited North Omaha home, lead-safe
A surveyed North Omaha home comes with a photo list of exactly where paint is failing. Stabilizing those surfaces — wet-scrape, prime, repaint under lead-safe containment — stops the daily shedding of lead dust where children live. This is certified-practice work priced accordingly. Standard: EPA RRP lead-safe work practices + HUD paint stabilization standards; SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Proof: before/containment/after photos per surface plus certification evidence Method (EPA RRP lead-safe work practices + HUD paint stabilization standards; SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).): 1. Confirm the host's invitation, review the survey list, and verify current EPA RRP certification for the work. 2. Set containment sheeting and warning signage around each work area per RRP practice. 3. Mist and wet-scrape the failing paint, then prime and repaint each stabilized surface. 4. Clean the work area with HEPA vacuum and wet wipes, and dispose of debris sealed and per local rules. 5. Photograph each surface before, during containment, and after, GPS-tagged and dated. Done when: before/containment/after photos per surface plus certification evidence
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
