Safety with Professional Lead Water Testing
Lead isn’t only in paint
Older NYC buildings can have lead service lines, lead solder or brass fixtures that release lead into drinking water, and yards and play areas near older buildings can contain lead in soil. Exit Lead collects water and soil samples using proper protocols, sends them to an accredited laboratory, and explains what the results mean for your property.
Standards referenced: the EPA Lead and Copper Rule action level for drinking water (15 ppb, being lowered to 10 ppb under the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements) and EPA residential soil lead screening guidance.
