SANTA CLARA — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you discover that your home contains lead paint, you’ll need to take the appropriate steps to address it safely and effectively. Today we’re in Santa Clara with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Ilan Sigura of Sigura Pro Painting to learn more.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Ilan Sigura: Ilan Sigura, CEO of Sigura Pro Painting. I would like to talk today about lead paint. Many of our customers are asking us, “When should I be concerned with lead paint?” In general, rule of thumb, any building that was painted before 1978, people should really check the paint for lead and see if there’s any lead in the pain. In case and you have lead in your paint, there are many different remedies for it.

Number one is encapsulation. Encapsulation means that you can have a certified contractor who is certified to deal with lead to have a special layer of paint on top of the existing one in order to encapsulate the lead so it’s not exposed anymore to the surface. And then your painter can come and paint on top of it. The other possibility is to get a company that do remediation that will shred the lead with a controlled environment. So, before you paint your home and if your house is before 1978, I would encourage you to inspect for lead.

today we're in santa clara with diamond
certified expert contributor Elin Segura
of Segura proclaiming to learn more
there are a few reasons for dry rot
there are reasons of maintenance and
reasons of failure in installation
maintenance is the biggest issue a lot
of people try to save some money on
maintenance such as painting or decoding
or deck sealant and don't paint as often
the house or deciding the the trim and
what happened is that when wood is not
painted its exposed to the elements such
as heat cold water etc when the wood is
exposed to heat and cold it expands and
contracts and create let's call it like
cracks so when water goes in between the
cracks it caused for the wood to be soft
and over time to dry rot if we are
painting the wood very frequently every
five to six years which is recommended
by manufacturer then at that point we
preventing and prolonging the dry rot to
occur in the wood if people will take
