Household lead testing

Professional Lead in Water Testing for the Family Home

For a household with a new baby, the practical question is whether lead is reaching the taps used for feeds, for washing bottles and for bathing, and if so which part of the plumbing is responsible.

Olympian Water Testing provides professional lead in water testing for families, homeowners and renters throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Parameter Selection Starts With Lead

Lead is a defined parameter with a defined analytical method, and it is the most common starting point for a household with young children.

Copper, bacteriological indicators, chemical parameters and a full potability selection can be included in the same sampling event where the household wants the wider picture. Parameter selection follows an in depth consultation with one of our consultants, frequently conducted in writing.

Where Lead Enters

The routes are the water service line, lead tin solder used at pipe joints, and brass components distributed throughout the supply path.

Among the components in service today that can contain lead are angle stops and shutoff valves beneath sinks and behind appliances, faucet bodies in kitchens and bathrooms, ball and gate valves on domestic hot and cold isolation, hose bibbs and exterior spigots, water heater nipples and relief valves, tub and shower mixing valves, well pump and booster pump wetted components, faucet cartridge housings and stems, backflow preventers and pressure reducing valves. Fixtures meeting the lead free definition still return measurable lead when analyzed, which is why every property warrants assessment.

What the Visit Involves

The site attendance is carried out by our highly trained and skilled laboratory technicians, who perform the site visit and sampling event. Bottles are filled at the existing taps as they are, with nothing opened and nothing dismantled.

Where a defined stagnation period is required, preparation instructions are provided before the sampling appointment.

Understanding Our Reporting

Our reporting sets out each sampling point, the analytical method used, the reporting limit and the measured concentration for each draw in the sequence.

Olympian Water Testing has served households across the region since 1991 with NELAP accredited laboratory analysis, and enquiries are received at any hour of any day.

Common questions

What drinking-water test makes sense for a new mother at home?
A good starting point is the water actually used for drinking, cooking and infant feeding. The parameter list should reflect the property, water source and concerns rather than using a one-size-fits-all panel.
Can lead be present in water in a recently renovated apartment?
Yes. Renovations may not replace every service-line or plumbing component, and some fixtures or fittings can still contribute metals.
Is a utility water report enough for a newborn household?
It provides useful information about the public supply, but it does not test the individual building’s plumbing or the specific faucet used in the home.
Can I test filtered and unfiltered water at the same time?
Yes. Paired samples can provide direct information about the untreated water and the water after it passes through the existing treatment device.
