Is lead in drinking water dangerous for my family?
Is lead in drinking water dangerous for my family?
Yes—the EPA confirms no amount of lead in drinking water is safe. Lead exposure is especially harmful to children (affecting brain development), pregnant women, and infants. Homes built before 1986 often have lead pipes or lead solder that can contaminate water. Testing your drinking water for lead is the only way to know if your family is at risk and take action to protect them.

Should I test my home's water for lead if I have old pipes?
Absolutely. If your home was built before 1986, there's a high chance your plumbing contains lead pipes, lead solder, or brass fixtures that can leach lead into your drinking water. Even newer homes can have lead contamination from old municipal water lines. A quick lead water test gives you peace of mind—or alerts you to take protective action for your family.
