What Is Lead in Water Testing?

Lead in water testing determines if your drinking water is contaminated due to aging plumbing, fixtures, or service lines. Our team collects water samples directly from taps, fountains, or other fixtures and sends them to an EPA-certified lab for accurate analysis. Testing is the only way to detect this invisible threat—and take steps to fix it.

I spoke with Vanessa - they were honest, transparent with me which I really appreciate. I had some questions about lead testing and they were straight shooters with me. Definitely recommend them and will use their business in the future.

When Should You Test for Lead in Water?

Schedule a water lead test if:

  • Your building was constructed before 1986
  • You use well water or a recently reconnected water line
  • The property is a school, daycare, or healthcare facility
  • You’ve done recent plumbing renovations
  • A child has an elevated blood lead level (EBLL)
  • You notice a metallic taste, staining, or discoloration in the water

Common Sources of Lead in Water

Lead contamination often comes from:

  • Kitchen or bathroom sinks
  • Drinking fountains or fill stations
  • Refrigerator water lines or ice makers
  • Utility sinks and shower heads
  • Older apartments or mixed-use buildings
  • Partially replaced service lines

Even a single outdated faucet can pose a risk.

Why Water Testing Matters

Lead in drinking water is dangerous—especially for:

  • Infants and children (learning delays, brain damage)
  • Pregnant women (harm to the fetus)
  • Immunocompromised individuals

Because lead is invisible and tasteless, most families don’t know they’re being exposed until it’s too late.

Testing helps you:

  • Meet regulatory requirements (HUD, CDPHE, EPA)
  • Reassure tenants, buyers, or inspectors
  • Plan safe fixture upgrades or plumbing replacements

How EnvioCore Can Help

EnvioCore provides certified lead-in-water testing across Colorado. We serve:

  • Homeowners and landlords
  • Schools and child care centers
  • Facility managers and real estate professionals

  • Fast, defensible lab results

Our Testing Process

  1. Property Evaluation
  2. We review plumbing age, water usage points, and risk factors.
  3. Water Sampling
  4. We collect both “first-draw” (standing water) and “flushed” samples from selected fixtures.
  5. Lab Analysis
  6. Samples are tested in an EPA-certified lab for lead concentration (ppb).
  7. Reporting
  8. Results are compared to EPA/CDPHE action levels, and we provide recommendations if needed.

Standard turnaround: 3–5 business days.

Rush testing: Available upon request.

Preparing for Your Inspection

To ensure valid results:

  • Avoid using the water at test locations for 6–12 hours beforehand
  • Let us know about recent plumbing repairs
  • Identify all drinking water fixtures and regular-use taps
  • Share any building plans or plumbing diagrams if available

Your Final Report Includes:

  • A list of all tested locations and fixtures
  • Lead concentration results in ppb
  • Pass/fail outcomes based on EPA/CDPHE thresholds
  • Next-step remediation advice, if needed

Lead in Water – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EPA’s action level for lead in water?

15 ppb (parts per billion) for public water systems. Stricter levels apply to schools and child care facilities.

Can I use a store-bought test kit?

They can detect lead, but they’re not EPA-certified and may miss low-level contamination. Lab testing is far more accurate and reliable.

Who is responsible for lead in my water—the city or me?

The city is responsible up to your service line. Everything inside your property—including pipes and fixtures—is your responsibility.

What if lead is found in my water?

We’ll recommend fixture replacement, water filters, or pipe upgrades based on severity. In high-risk cases, remediation may be urgent.

Can just one faucet be contaminated?

Yes. Even if your main line is safe, a single faucet or valve can leach lead into the water.

How often should I test?

For homes: every 2–3 years.
For schools/child care: annually, or after plumbing work.
