Lead Removal from Water
Clean, healthy water shouldn’t be something you have to think twice about. But lead is a hidden threat found in plumbing throughout the U.S., including Dallas, and it can make its way into the water you drink every day. At Dallas Water Doctor, we’re here to help you protect what matters most: your health and safety.
How Does Lead Get into Drinking Water?
The municipal water supplies in Dallas and the North Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are treated and monitored for lead. However, this dangerous substance can still get into drinking water and poses serious health risks. How so?
Over time, outdated plumbing service lines, pipes, solder, and older fixtures can corrode and release lead into the water flowing through them. That means even if city-supplied water is safe when it leaves the treatment plant, it can still pick up lead.
An unsettling number of Dallas locals could be at risk of lead contamination via plumbing. If your home or commercial building’s service lines or plumbing were installed prior to 1986, you should take action to protect yourself from lead exposure. Fortunately, you have many options, including equipping your property with a robust water filtration system.
How Lead Impacts Wellness
Lead poses serious health risks to adults and children alike. Even low levels can have adverse health effects. Protecting your water from lead means protecting your health and the well-being of those you care for.
Some of the impacts include the following:
- For children – Lower IQ, learning difficulties, behavioral problems, hearing loss, and delayed growth.
- For adults – Increased blood pressure, kidney problems, cardiovascular issues, and reproductive impact.

Water Filters Can Protect You from Lead
One of the most reliable ways to reduce lead exposure in drinking water is to remove it at the source. Certified water filtration systems can keep this hazardous substance from ever reaching your glass.
Systems commonly used for lead removal include:
- Reverse osmosis technologies
- Whole-home filtration units
- Point-of-use filters
These systems can trap dissolved lead and lead particles. When installed correctly and maintained on schedule, they can give you ongoing, dependable protection.
Why Lead Removal Is Critical for Dallas Homes
Lead exposure can have significant health impacts, especially for children and pregnant women. Even low levels of lead in drinking water can contribute to:
- Developmental delays in children
- Behavioral issues and learning difficulties
- Kidney problems and high blood pressure in adults
- Overall reduction in water safety and quality
- Lead can enter water through:
- Aging household plumbing
- Lead-containing fixtures or solder
- Corrosion in municipal pipes
- Home renovations that disturb old piping
By addressing these risks proactively, Dallas Water Doctor ensures your family can drink and cook safely, free from lead contamination.
