For decades, a handful of researchers chased a quiet question: what does childhood lead exposure do to the mind, long after the blood test comes back clean? The answer is now impossible to ignore — and it's the reason we do this work. Lead is a neurotoxin that attacks the developing brain. It lowers IQ, drives attention and behavior problems, and follows children into adulthood as depression, anxiety, and more. There is no safe level.
New York runs one of the most rigorous childhood-lead surveillance systems anywhere: mandatory screening, mandatory lab reporting, and a statewide registry built so a poisoned child doesn't slip through unseen. The registry is the detection. The science is the stakes. Removing the lead is the cure — and that's our part.
That's why we're expanding across New York. Detection without remediation only documents the harm. We finish what the registry starts — find the source, contain it, remove it, and clear the home — so a child's brain has the chance to develop the way it should.
We can't undo what lead already took. But we can make sure the next child grows up in a home that's clean.

These are the installations AAA Abatement LC is built to support — surface prep, coatings removal, and lead & asbestos scopes — as a subcontractor under our primary NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services). Federal vessel and facility work is performed under OSHA 1926.62 / 1915.1025, so out-of-state installations need no state abatement cert. Built to support these scopes — with verifiable federal vessel past performance on the U.S. Coast Guard CLEAT task order and SSPC-SP11 blasting capability through our Sponge-Jet teaming partnership.
USCG SLEDGE pursuit (Curtis Bay, Baltimore MD, FY26): competed as a prime-team subcontractor on the SSPC-SP11 lead & coatings removal requirement (engine room & forward rake) — full production and execution plan developed with Sponge-Jet teaming. The vessel surface-prep playbook is built and ready.
Licensing & authority: State abatement / contractor licenses held in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and Rhode Island. Surface-prep, coatings-removal, and lead work on federal vessels and facilities is performed under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 and 1915.1025 — the standards that govern federal scopes throughout the region, with no state abatement cert required. Proximity to an installation reflects our built-to-support operating range — our verifiable federal vessel past performance is the U.S. Coast Guard CLEAT task order. Blast equipment is provided through our Sponge-Jet teaming partnership.
…and the same crews have completed 200+ projects across Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire communities — residential and commercial lead abatement, inspections, and healthy-homes work.
Sponge media is engineered for marine and confined-space work. The manufacturer reports it suppresses up to 99% of dust compared to conventional abrasive blasting — a decisive advantage in cutter machinery spaces, where dust control is the entire problem. Less dust means a lighter containment burden and less disruption to adjacent shipboard work.
Sponge-media blasting achieves an SSPC-SP11 bare-metal profile at multiples of hand-tool production rates — the needle-gun and sander methods most abatement subcontractors are limited to on shipboard lead. Faster surface prep means shorter availability windows and tighter schedules held.
Surface preparation run as lead work, not just blasting: certified abatement crew, exposure monitoring, negative air, decon, and full waste manifesting. One subcontractor covers both the surface prep and the lead compliance.
Completed shipboard lead abatement on the U.S. Coast Guard CLEAT task order as a subcontractor under the USCG SFLC Lead/Asbestos MATOC — a $24.9M multi-award IDIQ program. Verifiable federal vessel past performance — not a prospect.
