BENEFITS OF LEAD PIPE REPLACEMENT
Replacing lead water pipes in your home is a great way to ensure water quality is at it’s best, and will improve your water pressure/ flow rate.
Lead is a harmful metal, particularly dangerous for children and pregnant women. Even low levels of exposure can lead to serious developmental and health issues over time. By replacing lead pipes, you greatly reduce the risk of lead contamination in your drinking water, creating a safer and healthier environment for you and your family.
We try to provide the least disruptive way to replace your lead pipes ensuring a fast, effective solution to keep your water supply safe. Using ‘no dig’ technology, otherwise known as ‘moling’, to minimise mess and disruption.
How we do it…
WHO’S RESPONSIBILITY?
The water mains that feed your house consist of different components, some of which are the property and responsibility of your local water company, some of which are deemed to be your responsibility.
The supply pipe is the responsibility of the property owner. If you need to renew the supply pipe, it is your financial responsibility, if you undertake this work, your local water company will renew the communication pipe back to the main for free under the lead replacement scheme.
