Lead plumbing does not always cause the lead in the water. Over a period of years, the inside of the plumbing is coated by hard water deposits. This creates a barrier between the pipes and the water. It is not safe though. If the pipes are disturbed and some of the coatings breakaway, the water can become contaminated. I would advise that you replace all the remaining lead plumbing with modern materials. Bleiinstallationen verursachen nicht immer das Blei im Wasser. Im Laufe der Jahre wird das Innere der Rohrleitungen von Kalkablagerungen überzogen. Dadurch entsteht eine Barriere zwischen den Rohren und dem Wasser. Es ist jedoch nicht sicher. Wenn die Rohre gestört werden und einige der Beschichtungen abbrechen, kann das Wasser kontaminiert werden. Ich würde Ihnen raten, alle verbleibenden Bleiinstallationen durch moderne Materialien zu ersetzen.

Jep friends of mine had the same problem with led pipes in their old home. If you have the money and are already renovating I would def go for redoing the pipes. They also found alot of old pipes going nowhere etc. So now they atleast have a clear plan where the pipes are and that they are led free so even if they get disturbed it wont matter and if you where already planning of changing up the layout of the plumbing it goes hand in hand

This is exactly what happened in Flint, Michigan. For decades their lead pipes were coated and safe, but in order to cut costs the state "emergency" managers switched their water supply from a river to a more acidic lake which corroded away the coating releasing the lead into the water. There wasn't really any emergency that the state had an excuse in order to appoint emergency managers, other than spending a proper amount on water, so the whole situation was contrived and pointless, and subjected a whole generation of the city to epic financial and medical ruin.

Note on the paint: You only tested the surface coat. There may be layer(s) of lead paint under the top coat from previous painting. So for any sections you will refinish, you should carefully scrape off each layer of paint off and test it Before sanding the section. Also, on lead pipes: Cold water does not carry lead from pipes easily, but hot water does. So lead pipes from the water heater can carry the lead to the faucet. Better to replace all lead supply pipes just to be safe. waste pipes don't need to be replaced.

Exactly right with the lead paint - the underneath layers will probably contain lead, just because of the era. You have to scrape carefully to the older layers of paint and test as you go. Lead paint is generally safe unless it flakes and/or you disturb it (or have someone, animal or human chewing on it).

Just a thought: Outermost layers of paint will be more recent, thus less likely to contain lead. Might be worth checking older layers (find place where paint is chipped or cut has been made, exposing layers of paint which have been covered over for decades. If there's lead paint, that is where it will be found.

If you're going to be exposing those layers by cutting into or otherwise modifying the painted item, though, then maybe it's an item of concern, or at least calls for a little extra caution / care in disposal of waste. Really comes down to where the lead paint is and whether it's likely to be disturbed in the process of renovation.

There's plenty of products that removes paint by making it a jell. Consequently, no lead can get into body through inhalation, skin barriers, eyes etc. Just put the used paint jell stuff in a tin or super thick plastic container and take to chemical refuse facility for safe disposal. When doing house restoration or renovation best wear gloves, safety glasses and highest rated mask possible.

9:27 Presumably you could use just a normal swab/cotton bud soaked in white vinegar to check the ox-blood paint? That'd still probably pick up the paint colour, but doesn't contain the test reagent to do a colour change - so if it looks the same as the test swab, you've got proof that there was no colour change and hence no lead...

Yeah, they used to use lead based solder for copper pipes. The pipes get scale inside after a few years. My house was built in the 50s and added on in the 60s. I'm sure they used lead solder but it's, probably, not a problem. It's not a good idea to use hot water from the tap for coffee, tea etc. but, otherwise, it's not worth worrying about.

Lead pipes are pretty safe. But say the pH drop or there is some more chlorine added to the drinking water. This will attack the lining and the pipe and then the lead contents of your drinking water will dramatically increase. IIRC this is what has happened with the municipal water pipes in Flint, Michigan.

11:10 Both "paint" and "paints" are correct in this usage. Paint is both singular and plural, for example "look at that paint" or "look at all of the paint". But if your pluralize the word into "paints" then you would be talking about different categories of paint, which applies here. you have paint from different parts of the house that are different types of paint with different uses. I think most native speakers would only say "paints" if they were specifically talking about different brands of paint or maybe different types like high traction paint vs latex paint vs water color.

There's only asbestos in the siding not the walls on the inside. So as long as you do not disturb it as with all things asbestos it's no issues. It's breaking it apart that releases the small crystal fibers that are harmful. Lead pipes are fine as long as your water is neutral or basic/hard. It's when it starts to go a bit acidic that it's starts to be dangerous. That is what happened in Flint Michigan when they switch out the water supply to a cheaper water source that was a bit acidic. That removed the limescale coating inside the lead pipes the lead to the water which caused all those issues.

Hängt sehr vom Wasser ab. Wir hatten bis in die 90er Bleirohre im Haus (sehr weiches Wasser) und selbst die damaligen Bleigrenzwerte im Wasser waren weit überschritten (zehnfacher Wert nach ein paar Stunden ohne Wasserentnahme, nach 10 Minuten Laufen lassen immer noch 5-fach). In einem ähnlich alten Haus 5 Minuten entfernt war der Bleigehalt gerade noch so unter dem Grenzwert, heute sicher weit darüber, der aktuelle ist nämlich um eine Kommastelle niedriger, ich meine seit 2013. Abgesehen davon waren die Bleirohre bei uns schon seit den 80ern chronisch leck, meistens an Lötstellen.

We had some lead in the pipes when I lived on Ft. Greely in Alaska. They recommended running the water for 30 seconds before use, as the standing water in the pipes can pick up more lead. They also provided water filters and suggested using them for drinking and cooking water. The water there was very hard, so the risk was low, but both are good ideas for old lead and galvanized supply pipes.

If there are many paint layers, the swipe test may be only testing the top layer which may not contain lead, but older layers may have lead. Check the older underlying paint coatings. Sanding and burning type approaches are at the "bad" end of the spectrum for removing lead paint as they creates dust and vapours. There are safer ways. Knowing where there is lead, will guide you on what and how you do the renos for painted surfaces - check your local health advisories for working with and disposing of lead (and other hazardous materials). For the lead pipes, if the water is testing free of lead, that would appear to be a good indicator. To be sure you may want to send a sample to a laboratory, and check for local notices and what others in the area have experienced. There may also be lead piping used for your buried water supply from the main water supply to your house - learned that when a building I was working in for 15 years dug up the water supply and found the feed the building was a lead pipe. The building at the interior had copper and plastic piping, but also lead paint and asbestos. As noted by others below, the lead pipes may not be an issue if conditions stay the same. Flint, Michigan, USA, changed the city's water supply and treatment, which caused problems for old lead piping that had previously been stable and not leaching lead into people's water supply. www.nrdc.org/stories/flint-water-crisis-everything-you-need-know. When in doubt, get some professional input. Hoping your renos go well and safely.

The main thing is to keep it from becoming airborne but you probably know that. Lead can also be found in the older mini blinds. As long as you are not chewing on your trim .

The pipe installer explained to them that today he and most of his colleagues switched to stainless steel piping which is being press-fitted. This does not corrode (such as copper) does not contain lead and is not leaching anything that old PVC pipes might. With a "Rohrpresse" you could do this yourself. Good luck with your project 🙂

I replaced everything on my side of the water meter with PEX Tubing except for a section exposed to sunlight (it got iron pipe). Plumbing company estimate was $17,400. I finished - including upgrades and all repairs to walls and concrete driveway for about $2,700. Depending on the condition of your pipes please research PEX tubing, it is very DIY friendly. Jim Y

Laura, this slice of life video was actually pretty cool. Even though it wasn't a traditional build, it was still a lot of fun! Hope you are well, so cool to see your community, Felix, Harry, very cool!

I saw cast iron waste pipes in basement. If you are going to replace any plumbing, also remove any cast iron to PVC. I've had cast iron with streaks of orange. Turns out, it was rust and it was leaking. After all these decades, paint could be the only thing holding it together. (Or protecting it, I don't know.) Love your show! Ohio

I'm binging all your videos since you bought the house, and I was so concerned for you when you were doing the door. I hope you tested each paint layer on the doors. It seemed like you did. Don't forget to keep testing if you find more hidden layers of paint. Don't just assume that it's all good from this first round of testing. The older the paint, the more likely it is to contain lead.

When I restored a house the plumber said to leave the lead pipe, that it didn't release lead until we disturbed it. We had it removed. Like yours supply pipes were lead, braised to copper for newer work. As others have said top layers of paint will not be lead based paints. Once you get 50-70 years back it will almost certainly will be. Buy a good respirator and wear it when sanding and for paint removal.

I like to always test anything that's going to make dust even if I have tested in an area when i see different colors of paint or pull carpet, I'll pull a corner and do a test. They are so easy and I'd rather learn before I breath it in or get covered in it. Glad you did that, It's awesome that you can ask questions in your videos and have people without judgement give you info as you learn and as you bring your home to life. Thank you for sharing this, personally it's a bit of an escape for me from the situation I've recently found myself in. Good Vibes!

Ox blood paint has a high likelyhood of having lead as it was used as a coloring agent. (My old house had lots of it. Was glad to replace it with better alternatives,)

Awesome, glad to see that there's no lead infecting! I haven't done lead testing and I should. I did the asbestos but not lead so you got me thinking I really should. Thank you Laura!

Best project to date. No Lead! Yes! Now, keep going. I think more people are interested in seeing what else you plan to do to your beautiful old house than in seeing another barbecue. I certainly am. Anyhow, you're a wonderful maker and I'll watch it all regardless.

Yeah for the lead in the water you need to let the hot water run, that's what does the leaching. 💜

The house must not be too bad if the woman lived there for 92 years. Hope your rehab of the house goes well. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your projects because I love your attitude and outlook. Best regards.
