The Hidden Risks of Contaminated Drinking Water
Many homeowners assume clear water is clean water, but that’s not always the case. Private wells are not regulated by public utilities, meaning contaminants can go undetected for years.
Furthermore, most residential and commercial property inspections don’t test your water for contaminants or pH, leaving you completely in the dark about your water quality.
Undiscovered water quality issues can lead to:
- Harmful bacteria such as coliform or E. coli
- Nitrate contamination dangerous to infants and children
- Health concerns caused by agricultural runoff or failing septic systems
- Failed real estate transactions due to unsafe test results
- Costly remediation discovered after closing
A standard home inspection alone does not confirm water safety. Testing is the only way to know what’s really in your drinking water.
Protect Your Health Before You Drink the Water
Drinking water is something you rely on every day, but contamination isn’t always visible, and problems often go unnoticed until health or financial consequences appear. Professional water testing removes the guesswork by giving you clear, verified answers before you move forward with a home purchase, sale, or continued occupancy.
Our certified water testing services identify harmful bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants early, so you can take action before they impact your family, tenants, or investment.
With early testing, you can:
- Protect your family’s health from unseen waterborne contaminants
- Avoid unexpected remediation costs after closing or move-in
- Request repairs or treatment during real estate negotiations
- Confirm your water supply is safe, usable, and compliant
Our team of qualified experts offers several different water sampling tests to suit any requirements, including:
- VA, FHA, and USDA tests – along with other governmental testing.
- Customized water sampling
- Drinking water sampling
When it comes to drinking water, assumptions can be costly. Get clear answers now, before small issues become permanent problems.
Common Sources of Drinking Water Contamination
Water contamination often comes from nearby farms, aging septic systems, or naturally occurring conditions underground.
Whether you get your drinking water from a well or a public utility company, drinking water contamination can occur for many reasons:
- Sewage overflow
- Contaminated stormwater
- Wildlife interference
- Pipe corrosion
That’s why we highly recommend that all properties with septic tanks perform a septic tank inspection and a water quality test.
For commercial businesses and municipalities, water contamination can often be the result of pollution from fertilizers, sediment, wildlife droppings, and toxic chemicals.
The Benefits of Drinking Water Testing
Fixing contaminated water systems, including corroded pipes and damaged wells, can cost you thousands of dollars. That’s why it’s essential to perform a water test before buying a house.
However, water sampling and testing can benefit residents and customers in several other ways, including:
- Reducing the risk of illness and disease transmission
- Including the quality, smell, and taste of drinking water
- Supply important information on the mineral content of water
- Ensure filtration systems are working properly
Water testing can benefit virtually anyone who relies on clean drinking water for survival. Our most common clients include:
- Residential properties with wells or public drinking water
- Businesses that handle water for delivery or use
- Municipalities that require drinking water testing
