Centuries ago, lead plumbing was the only plumbing that people used. Pipes were made from lead because they were cheap, easy to weld, and they were also resistant to rust. These pipes were installed in houses as water pipes and were in use well into the 1980s. Some old houses could still have lead pipes in them unless they have been replaced during a renovation process, or by broken pipe replacements.
Are you considering how to go about changing the lead pipes in your house? If yes, Emergency plumber London is the ideal company for you. With so many years of experience using modern plumbing facilities, you can be guaranteed that your plumbing will be in good hands.
I called emergency plumber for fixing the issue with water heater. He checked the condition of the heater and provided quality service at an affordable rate. We are really happy to hire professional plumbers for our work.
I just had a new boiler installed from these experienced plumbers. I am really impressed with their service. See them next year for annual servicing. Highly recommended!
Lead is one of the naturally occurring metals. They are harmful to the human body and can get into our bodies in different ways. They can be present in our food, thus ingested through the mouth, and they can also be present in our water. They can even be absorbed through the air we breathe.
Lead poisoning affects our bodies in devastating ways, both children and adults. It is much worse in children because their nervous system development is damaged, and permanent changes are experienced in behaviour and learning ability. Lead poisoning affects range from kidney damage to reproductive problems in adults. The effects are amplified when exposure to the lead continues for a long period.
It is therefore important to prevent exposure to this metal, especially for children. We know the tragedy that comes along with lead pipes, and we have our customers at heart, which is why you should give us a call today to book an appointment and get your piping work changed.

This is because, over time, during the use of lead pipes, oxidised metal forms a layer on the pipe surface, and prevents water from being in direct contact with the lead. This is not a consolation, because you still need to replace your lead pipes if you have any.
The most common way to determine if you have lead pipes is to check the age of the house you are living in. If you live in a house that has been around before 1963, then it is highly possible that you may have lead pipes. However, if you are not sure, try the following procedures to be sure;
