Water Quality
Like air quality, your home’s water quality is an essential component to your overall health. Plumbing installed before 1990 was often constructed using leaded pipes and solder. Test your water supply for elevated lead levels which can pose serious health risks to your family, especially small children. Levels of chlorine, copper, mercury and cadmium in your water should also be monitored. Consider filtration systems to ensure the purity of your water.
-
Convert to copper
Replace your lead pipes with copper pipes; not only modernizing your plumbing system, but effectively limiting lead contamination of your water.
-
Water filters
The presence of lead in your water supply can cause illness, especially in young children. Contact water provider and install a water filtration system rated for lead, if detected.
