Lead Protection Plan Now Available for All U.S. Plumbing Companies
Pipe Restoration Technologies, LLC (PRT), makers of the ePIPE, Lead-Free Leak-Free™ and LeadSmart® product lines, is celebrating National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week with the launch of its LeadSmart Lead Protection Plan for all nationwide plumbing companies and home inspectors to help ease America’s epidemic of high lead levels in drinking water.
It’s estimated that more than 18 million Americans currently live in areas where the drinking water system violates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s lead and copper rule. The one-of-a-kind program, LeadSmart, offers residential, commercial, municipal and government customers peace of mind by testing, identifying and bringing their properties’ drinking water systems into compliance with the current EPA guideline for lead contamination.
“Due to an accelerated increase in concern over high lead levels in water by parents and landlords, more residential buildings, commercial properties, as well as municipal water authorities, have been taking interest in testing their water for lead and finding the cause of high lead levels,” Pipe Restoration Technologies CEO Larry Gillanders said. “The LeadSmart program gives Americans the service and solution they’ve been searching for.”
LeadSmart is a lead testing and lead remediation service. Certified LeadSmart providers provide on-site water testing for lead in drinking water by using EPA-approved equipment, education on how to identify sources of lead in piping systems, professional remediation recommendations and a certificate of compliance. These services are also backed by an industry-first, $1 million Professional Errors and Omissions Insurance program.
Certified LeadSmart providers also receive training and equipment required to diagnose, detect, test and provide recommendations to reduce lead and copper leaching in drinking water systems. Equipment includes a portable, EPA approved on-site lead and copper testing scanner/analyzer, a fully loaded tablet with necessary forms and documents, training manual and other materials.
