Disclosure of Lead (Pb) in Drinking Water is Trending in California


Realtors, sellers and landlords are getting on board with LeadSmart. The LeadSmart program includes onsite water testing services for lead, a remediation action plan and the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance. This assures sellers and buyers that the property is in compliance with EPA guidelines for lead leaching. 
 
Lead disclosure in pipes and in water in a real estate transaction may not be mandatory (yet). Many homeowners, commercial building owners and realtors now realize that it is only a matter of time, and are being proactive in having their water tested and properties LeadSmart certified. 
 
Southern California homeowner, Joel Cooper understood the dangers of potential lead exposure from drinking water and the possible risks from non-disclosure of hazardous materials in real estate transactions. He was proactive in having his home LeadSmart Certified before listing it.
 
Joel stated, “Having the LeadSmart Certification on my home ensures that I am protecting both myself and potential buyers. Knowing that my drinking water complies with EPA standards gives me peace of mind in knowing that I am selling a Healthy Home.”
 
Orange County, California realtor Maria Inez Fraser and her seller recognized the benefits of the LeadSmart program. They also had their property LeadSmart certified.
