Why Lead Testing Services Matters
1. Water in Lead Pipes
As water flows through aging pipes containing lead, small particles and traces of lead can dissolve and mix into the water.
2. Water at the Tap
Once at the tap, the contaminated water seems clear and drinkable. It carries dissolved lead particles, which are invisible and tasteless, making the danger undetectable to the eye.
3. Contaminate the Body
When consumed, the water’s lead particles enter the bloodstream and accumulate in organs, affecting the body’s systems over time.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Lead contamination in water can be a hidden but serious issue, especially in older buildings. To help you understand the risks and the importance of testing, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about lead exposure, testing procedures, and what to do if lead is detected.
What is lead contamination, and why is it dangerous?
Lead is a toxic metal that can leach into water from old pipes or fixtures. Exposure to lead can cause severe health issues, particularly affecting children’s development and increasing risks of heart and kidney problems in adults.
How do I know if my building needs lead testing?
If your property was built before 1990, there’s a higher likelihood of lead plumbing or fixtures. Regular testing is crucial to identify hidden contamination and ensure the safety of your water supply.
What does the lead testing process involve?
Our lead testing process includes collecting water samples from your property, analyzing them in a certified lab, and providing a detailed report with recommendations if lead is detected.
How often should I get my building’s water tested for lead?
We recommend annual testing for older buildings or after any plumbing repairs or renovations. This helps ensure ongoing safety and compliance with current regulations.
What happens if lead is detected in my water?
If lead is detected, we’ll provide a comprehensive report and suggest the necessary steps, such as pipe replacements, installing filters, or consulting a licensed plumber to address the issue.
Can lead contamination be fixed without major renovations?
In some cases, minor plumbing updates or installing point-of-use water filters can effectively reduce or eliminate lead contamination, depending on the severity of the issue.
How long does it take to receive the results?
Once we collect the samples, results are typically available within 1 to 3 business days, along with a clear report on lead levels and recommended actions.
How does lead get into drinking water?
Lead can enter drinking water through corrosion of old pipes, solder, or plumbing fixtures containing lead. Buildings constructed before 1990 are at higher risk due to the widespread use of lead pipes and solder in plumbing systems.
Are there regulations regarding lead levels in water?
Yes, the EPA has set an action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) for lead in drinking water. If lead levels exceed this limit, corrective actions are required to reduce exposure and maintain compliance with safety standards.
