Lead Service Line Replacement

Lead Service Line Replacement involves removing and replacing water pipes made of lead that connect a home's plumbing to the main water supply. Lead pipes can leach harmful metals into drinking water, posing health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. Replacing these lines improves water safety and quality. The process typically involves collaborating with water utilities and homeowners to identify lead lines, then carefully removing them and installing new, corrosion-resistant pipes, often made of copper or plastic. This upgrade helps ensure safer drinking water and complies with health standards.
