LeadSmart Lead Protection Plan Now Available for All Plumbing Companies In Time for Lead Prevention WeekPipe 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 the country of its 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." Local southern California realtor, Rose Maniscalchi, is just one of many real estate professionls who see the benefit in water testing for their transactions. "A healthy home is a happy home," Maniscalchi said. "After working with buyers on a host of inspections and due diligence efforts, we recently conducted a water quality test through LeadSmart and have received a very positive report that our home is in compliance with EPA Standards. Hard to put a value on peace of mind. Thank you to LeadSmart." LeadSmart is a lead testing and lead remediation service.
