Ensure Safe, Lead-Free Drinking Water
Protect your properties and facilities from lead contamination with certified water testing services.
Protect your properties and facilities from lead contamination with certified water testing services.
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can leach into drinking water from old plumbing, lead service lines, and solder joints. Even at low levels, lead exposure can cause neurological damage, developmental issues in children, and long-term health risks.
In Ontario, Regulation 243/07 under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) mandates routine lead testing for schools, childcare centers, and facilities serving vulnerable populations. Property owners and managers must ensure water meets the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards (ODWQS), which set the maximum allowable lead concentration at 0.005 mg/L.
Health Protection: Long-term exposure can cause brain damage, kidney disease, and cardiovascular problems.
Regulatory Compliance: Required for schools, childcare facilities, and properties with older plumbing under Ontario Regulation 243/07.
Liability Risks: Lead contamination can result in legal consequences, public health violations, and costly remediation.
Schools & childcare centers: Semi-annual testing, with increased frequency if lead levels exceed limits.
Older buildings (pre-1990s plumbing): Annual testing recommended.
Private wells & residential properties: At least once per year, especially if plumbing materials are unknown.
Certified Sampling: Our trained technicians collect water samples following Ontario Drinking Water Protocols.
Accredited Lab Analysis: Water is tested for lead concentrations to ensure compliance with ODWQS standards.
Detailed Reporting & Guidance: We provide clear, actionable results and recommendations for mitigation if needed.
Lead contamination in drinking water is a serious and often overlooked health risk. It primarily comes from aging lead pipes, corroded plumbing fixtures, and old solder materials used before 1989, when lead was phased out of plumbing materials. When water sits in lead-containing pipes for extended periods, it absorbs the toxic metal, leading to elevated lead levels at taps and faucets.
The health risks of lead exposure are well-documented, with the most severe effects occurring in young children, pregnant women, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Long-term exposure to lead in water has been linked to neurological damage, developmental delays, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. Even at low concentrations, lead is harmful, as it accumulates in the body over time with no safe level of exposure.
Testing for lead in drinking water is the only way to ensure safety, as lead is tasteless, odourless, and invisible. Our certified lead testing services provide accurate detection, helping property owners and managers take proactive steps to mitigate contamination and protect residents.
Ontario has strict lead testing requirements under Regulation 243/07 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), mandating regular sampling and analysis for schools, childcare facilities, and designated buildings that serve vulnerable populations. Property managers, landlords, and facility operators must comply with these regulations to ensure public health and avoid legal liability.
For properties with older plumbing (pre-1990s buildings), additional monitoring is strongly recommended. While lead service lines have been phased out, many buildings still contain lead-based components that can pose a contamination risk. The Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards (ODWQS) set the maximum allowable lead concentration at 0.005 mg/L, requiring immediate corrective action if exceeded.
Our lead testing services ensure full compliance with provincial and municipal regulations, providing certified lab analysis, risk assessments, and expert mitigation recommendations. If your property requires testing, we guide you through the sampling, reporting, and corrective action process to meet compliance standards and maintain safe drinking water.
Lead contamination is preventable, but without proper testing, property owners may unknowingly expose tenants, employees, or residents to serious health risks. The only way to know if your water contains lead is through professional testing and laboratory analysis.
We offer comprehensive lead testing services, including:
✔ Certified water sampling by trained professionals
✔ Accredited lab analysis for precise detection of lead levels
✔ Regulatory compliance support to meet Ontario’s drinking water standards
✔ Actionable recommendations for remediation if lead is detected
If your property is at risk due to aging pipes or regulatory requirements, don’t wait—schedule your lead water test today and take control of your water quality!
