Pre-1978 paint, lead?
Old-home buyers sand paint blindly yearly. Kids ingest chips.
1. The problem
Buyers of pre-1978 homes sand paint blindly yearly. Lead chips poison kids silently. Renovations spread dust widely. Abatement mystifies costs. The hardest part is instant answers fast. A windowsill might hide layers. That uncertainty makes it hard to renovate safe.
“Sanding blindly yearly here. I need room sweeps with abatement flows.”
2. What exists
3M swabs, labs and inspectors test lead, while blind sanding persists yearly. Swabs cover spots only. An inspector might cost steeply. There is little help with room sweeps plus abatement flows for owners.
3. The solution
The solution could be a renovate-safe engine. It could swab rooms simply fast. It could map positives visibly. Pro routing could abate safely. The goal would be safe kids, clean remodels.
