Dust Removal

LEAD DUST REMOVAL

In most older houses ceiling cavities contain high levels of lead mixed in with a build-up of dust. This dust also contains other harmful contaminants.

Lead is dangerous. It can impair brain function in children affecting learning and memory and is also toxic for adults.

This contaminated dust should be removed from the home preferably by trained professionals and particularly before any building or insulation work is attempted.

The service of members of ADRA includes:-

·  Approved HEPA Filter removal by trailer mounted vacuums

·  Entry & exit through roof leaving the house uncontaminated

·  Removal of old insulation & other debris if required

·  Supply &/or installation of quality new insulation.

ADRA advises that given today’s current fuel prices and where there is relatively easy access to the job the average cost to vacuum a dust-only ceiling space is approximately $10 per m2 using WORKCOVER specified HEPA filtered equipment by trained staff. The $10 per m2 is for a building of approximately 100m2 and smaller might have a larger charge whereas larger would be less per m2.

Difficult entry and trussed low pitched roofs, removal of rubble and removal of old insulation, both batts and loose fill would involve extra cost. In cases of small areas, expect there to be a minimum job price.

According to a letter to The LEAD Group from Aaron Hughes, Home Energy Branch, federal Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA), dated 20 July 2009:

"The [Energy Efficient Homes - insulation rebate] Package does not exclude the simple vacuuming up of residual debris, such as dust and leaf litter in the ceiling space. However the maximum assistance under the package is $1,600 for homeowners and $1,000 for landlords/renters..."
