Faucet Repair in Boaz, Alabama 35956
92% of homes were built before 2010.
Free to homeowners in Boaz — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Boaz, 92% of housing was built before 2010. The lead-free rule that took effect on 4 January 2014 governs what may be sold, not what must be removed, so an older faucet is not unlawful - but it decides which replacement parts are.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
In Boaz, 92% of housing predates 2010, and so predates the 2014 lead-free rule. That does not make a tap unsafe; it decides which replacement parts are legal to put back in it.
What this site is
FaucetMend is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address; only a test of that water can tell you about it.Boaz in numbers

One slow tap is usually the aerator
If a single fixture runs weak while the rest of the house is normal, the aerator at the end of the spout is the first thing to unscrew. It is the simplest fix in plumbing and it does not need anybody called out.
What the 2014 rule changed
Until 4 January 2014 a faucet sold in the United States could contain up to eight percent lead in the wetted surfaces. Since then the weighted average must be at or below 0.25 percent. It is a rule about what may be sold, not about what must be removed.
