Lead waterlines in homes can pose significant health concerns. In the past, lead pipes were commonly used for plumbing, and some older homes may still have these pipes in place. When water flows through lead pipes, it can pick up lead particles, contaminating drinking water. Chronic exposure to lead in drinking water has been linked to various health issues, particulairly in children and pregnant women. Elevated lead levels can impair cognitive development in children, leading to learning disabilities and behavioural problems.
In adults, exposure to lead can result in kidney problems and high blood pressure. Even low levels of lead exposure over an extended period can have detrimental effects on health.
Our goal at Rod's Trenching & Excavating is to address these health concerns by eliminating lead waterlines in your home, followed by replacing these lines using approved materials that meet or exceed current health safety standards.
Our team uses State of the Art “Trenchless Technology.” This method involves excavating a small pit at the city connections. From this pit, new water and sewer lines are installed into customer's basement using pipe bursting methods.
Alternatively if sewer line does not require replacement, from this same pit, a new waterline is installed into basement using Directional Drilling methods.
Unlike traditional open cut methods, Trenchless methods involve minimal excavation, reducing disruption to landscapes, driveways, sidewalks, decks, stairs, and other structures.These methods greatly reduce restoration costs.
