HEPA Vacuum Rentals
Protect Your Family and Home
Before starting any remodeling or renovation project, it's important to know about potential risks like lead dust, especially in homes built before 1978. Unsafe practices can expose you and your children to serious health dangers.
Visit EPA.gov to learn about safe renovation methods. You may also consider using a HEPA vacuum to effectively remove lead dust from your home during your renovation.
