Access to clean and safe water is one of the most important necessities to living a healthy life. Just because your home’s water appears to be clean and clear does not mean that it is free from potentially harmful contaminants. The only way for homeowners to have confidence in their home water supply is through a Water Quality Test conducted by a certified professional. Contact your local NPI inspector to order a Water Quality Test today!
What Does Water Quality Testing Reveal?
Whether your water comes from a municipal source or from a private well, there are many contaminants that can infiltrate a water supply. These contaminants can cause things like discoloration, substandard taste, and deteriorating odor. Contaminants have also been associated with cases of neurological disorder, respiratory illness, cardiovascular and abdominal disease, and even cancer. Water Quality Testing is used to reveal the following contaminants:
- Chlorine
- Lead
- Coliform
- Arsenic
- E. coli
- Nitrates and Nitrites
- Other heavy metals and minerals
- And much more!
What Can Cause Water Supply Contamination?
While come water contamination will be obvious, seemingly clear water can contain harmful contaminants. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends annual water supply testing, and homes with more vulnerable occupants (e.g., infants or seniors) should test more frequently. External forces can compromise previously clean water, and homeowners should regularly test their water supply to ensure their ongoing safety. Here are some situations that can result in water contamination:
- Outdated or damage municipal plumbing systems
- Nearby mining activity (like fracking)
- Nearby agricultural activity (or livestock farming)
- Nearby business operations (like dry cleaning, gas stations, or industrial operations)
- Recent natural disasters (especially flooding)
- Ground water contamination
- Manure runoff and pet waste
