If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.
