Anybody know of a place that does this? My house is pretty old (104 years) and I was curious about the levels of lead that might be in the water I'm drinking.
 
Any laboratory. However, the problem regarding lead in old buildings is with hot water because the pipes for hot water are made with lead instead of a blend of copper and zinc.

As soon as hot water is not used for drinking or cooking, there shouldn t be any issue.

The saturnismo (lead poisoning) was a big issue at Rome because they didn t know and they used lead pipes for hot water.

Regards
