Springville: Remediation Cost in Perspective

Remediation costs in Springville are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 17% above the Pennsylvania average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Springville
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Before the federal solder ban, lead solder was a routine plumbing material, and 61% of the Springville inventory was built in that earlier era - a share large enough to move household-level reads onto the standard list.
