Educational information, not professional advice
Everything on Home Water Report — guides, numbers, and the risk check — is educational information. It is not medical, legal, financial, or engineering advice, and it does not create any professional relationship. For health concerns about lead exposure, talk to a doctor; for plumbing decisions, a licensed plumber; for your specific water, your utility.
The risk check is a screening estimate
The 60-second check combines public risk factors into an estimate. It cannot see your actual pipe. Only a certified laboratory water test or your utility's verified service-line inventory can confirm lead. Never make health decisions on the basis of a low score alone.
Accuracy and currency
We source regulatory facts from the EPA and health guidance from the CDC, date our pages, and update when rules change. Still, regulations, utility programs, prices, and product certifications change without notice; we make no warranty that any page is complete, current, or error-free. Verify time-sensitive details with the primary source before acting.
