David Love Property offers expert lead in water testing services for landlords and homeowners across East Central Scotland, including Edinburgh, Fife, Dalkeith, and Midlothian. With the updated Repairing Standard effective from 1 March 2024, landlords are now required to ensure that water supplies in private rental properties are free of lead pipes, lead-lined storage tanks, and other fittings containing lead. We provide a rapid response and same-day service to help you meet these legal requirements efficiently.
Our team specializes in detecting lead in water systems and assisting landlords in keeping their properties safe and compliant with government guidelines.
Why Test for Lead in Water?
Lead was commonly used in plumbing systems before 1970 and banned in 1969 due to its harmful effects. However, older properties might still contain lead pipes or fittings. Water that has been in contact with lead for extended periods can absorb this toxic substance, posing health risks to tenants and homeowners.
Testing your water systems for lead:
- Ensures compliance with the new Repairing Standard.
- Reduces health risks for residents.
- Provides peace of mind that your property is safe for use.
Our Comprehensive Water Testing Process
Our lead testing process includes:
- Inspecting all outlets, including kitchen taps, basins, baths, and utility rooms, between the stopcock and the tap.
- Conducting water tests to detect lead content in the system.
- Providing a detailed report and recommended actions if lead levels exceed safe limits.
We utilize advanced techniques to ensure your water supply complies with the 10-microgram-per-litre standard set by Scottish Water and the UK Government.
