Lead Remediation Baltimore, MD Execution: 3 Days

Historic Federal Hill Home — Complete Repipe

Preserving historic architectural integrity while completely modernizing water delivery requires scientific diagnostics. Our master technicians deployed non-destructive acoustic sensors behind 100-year-old lath and plaster walls.

The Challenge

Failure Analysis & Structural Threat

A 1920s Federal Hill row home with 100% galvanized steel pipes. Internal corrosion had reduced water pressure by 70% and was leaching heavy rust and lead particles into the potable water supply.

⚠️ Without rapid master-level intervention, chronic infrastructure degradation leads to compounding structural drywall decay, biological mold contamination, and foundation settling.
Scientific Intervention

Engineering Diagnostics & Execution

Full 3-day PEX-A expansion repipe. Acoustic pipe mapping identified 14 hidden branch points without opening plaster walls unnecessarily. All historical fixtures retained original positions. Post-repipe water lead testing was 100% clear on day 4.

Technical Specifications & Methodology

  • Type: PEX-A Cross-linked Polyethylene with ASTM F1960 cold-expansion fittings
  • Pressure baseline before: 18 PSI at second-floor bathroom fixtures
  • Restored hydrostatic dynamic pressure: 58 PSI continuous across all 3 levels
  • Lead and particulate level: 0.000 mg/L verified via EPA-certified laboratory test
