Water Testing
While we’re conducting your home inspection, hire us to perform a Water Test. Testing the water in your home is the only way to determine potential contaminents and/or biological compounds such as:
- Dangerous levels of bacteria, including E-Coli and coliform
- Elevated levels of nitrates and nitrites from fertilizers that leach into the groundwater
- Imbalances in PH Levels
- Fluoride levels
- Mineral contaminents, such as iron and arsenic
- Heavy metal contamination, including copper and lead
- and MUCH more!
Your water test offers several different service levels, depending on how many variables you would like to test for. You will receive a digital water test report that is available for you to keep and use prior to closing on your new home.
No natural water source is completely free of impurities; contaminants and pathogens must be monitored and mitigated. With the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set standards that determined the level for the safe consumption of 80 contaminants.
Water system plants test and treat water. However, these protections can and do fail. As your home inspector, it is our job to look for material defects in the homes we inspect to ensure that it is safe for the occupants; adding water quality testing to your home inspection is another safety measure you can take in protecting your investment.
