What Is a Lead-Safe Certified Renovator (RRP)?
The EPA's RRP Rule requires that contractors performing renovation, repair, or painting work in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities be certified in lead-safe work practices. This certification is not the same as lead paint abatement.
- Contain work areas to prevent lead dust from spreading
- Use proper tools and methods that minimize dust generation
- Clean up thoroughly after work is complete
- Test affected components using EPA-recognized test kits before beginning work
What We Do and What We Don’t Do
This distinction matters, and we want to be straightforward about it.
| Service | What It Means | Does BioSweep SE Offer It? |
|---|---|---|
| Lead-Safe Renovation (RRP) | Performing repair and restoration work safely in buildings with lead paint | Yes |
| Component Testing | Using EPA-approved swab kits to test surfaces affected by our work | Yes |
| Lead Paint Abatement | Permanently eliminating lead paint hazards through full removal, encapsulation, or enclosure | No |
Lead paint abatement is a separate, specialized service that requires different certifications, training, and licensing. If a property has been flagged for abatement through a government program, a court order, or an elevated blood lead level case, then work must be performed by a licensed abatement contractor.
We will always tell you clearly which side of that line a job falls on.
