Lead-based paint can be located in high traffic areas such as doors, door frames, railings, porches, banisters, and windowsills. These areas can be often touched by children and pets causing potential hazards.

Toxicity

Lead-based paint is present in many homes and if in good condition it is not usually a problem.

However, if this paint is chipping, peeling, damaged, chalking, or damp the issue needs to be addressed immediately.
