Why Replace Lead?
- Improved drinking water quality – lead is a toxic metal that can leach into drinking water from lead pipes, which can cause a range of serious health problems, particularly in children, including developmental delays, learning difficulties, and stunted growth.
- Increased water pressure – old lead pipes can become damaged over time, creating blockages, leaks, and low water pressure. Replacing these pipes can ensure a steady and reliable supply of water.
- Enhanced home value – replacing lead pipes can increase the overall value of your home, especially if you’re planning on selling it in the future.
- Lower maintenance costs – lead pipes are prone to corrosion and damage, which can result in costly repairs and maintenance. Replacing them can prevent future damage and save you money in the long run.
- Environmental protection – recycling lead pipes and replacing them with non-toxic materials is an environmentally responsible way to protect our planet and preserve natural resources.
