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.

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.
@helenlecornu16512 жыл бұрын
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).

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.

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.

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.
@jamesmaddigan81322 жыл бұрын
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.
