Lead Testing

Here at Microbac, our team of qualified professionals make the health and safety of your drinking water our top priority with our lead and copper testing.

The new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bill requiring the identification and removal of lead service lines (LSL) to help ensure safe drinking water for Americans has brought lead and copper testing to the forefront of everyone’s mind. The EPA provides guidelines and best practices to help water systems better comply with the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) and prioritizes disadvantaged communities where our children live and play. Significant funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is enabling rapid progress to help communities remove all existing lead pipes.

Lead is no longer considered to have a safe exposure level because of its impacts on fetuses and young children, even at low levels of exposure. In children, lead can cause behavioral issues, learning disabilities, hearing impairment, low IQ, brain damage, and impaired development. In adults, lead exposure has been shown to increase the risk of cancer, stroke, kidney disease, and memory problems and causes high blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems. Copper is not without its problems, too. High levels of copper can cause headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, liver damage, and kidney disease and may reduce the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen.
