Having clean water in your home is one of your most basic needs. If you’re not happy with the quality of your water, getting it checked will probably be at the top of your to-do list. But you may be wondering if there’s an easy way to get it done.
At Morris-Jenkins, we offer water quality testing in Davidson to check for some of the most important things. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Does your water smell like chlorine, metal, or rotten eggs? These odors might mean there are chemical imbalances, bacteria, or too many minerals.
If your water looks cloudy, yellow, or brown, it might have sediment, iron, or rust from old pipes.
Seen a white film on your faucets or dishes? Hard water leaves minerals that can shorten the life of your appliances.
Too many minerals in your water can cause dry skin, brittle hair, and might even make you itch after a shower.
Mineral-heavy water can lead to dry skin, fragile hair, and itching or discomfort after showers.
Whether you have well water or you’re on city water, a lot can end up in your tap water. While most of these things are generally harmless, they can be a nuisance, wreaking havoc on your plumbing over time.
Water quality testing in Davidson is important if you start noticing problems with your water. Some of the most common problems are bad-tasting water, scale build-up, water that stains clothing, and water that’s hard on your pipes.
We recommend having your water tested right away if it tastes sour or bitter, or if it has a bad smell. You should also get it tested if it’s causing skin irritation or putting water spots on your fixtures.
Our basic test is free with any plumbing diagnostic and you’ll get your results back right away. We can also test for more than 100 other things in your water. While the other test isn’t free, it’ll cover all the bases if you need more comprehensive testing. With this test, we’ll take a sample of your water and then ship it off to a lab. You’ll get the results a few days later.
Maybe one of the more serious things our basic test checks for is high chlorine levels. Chlorine is a toxic chemical, and while it’s great at getting rid of some of the nastier things that can end up in the water, it’s also great at causing skin rashes, lung irritation, and red, watery eyes. If that’s what you’re experiencing after every shower, it’s time to get your water tested!
Remember, chlorine isn’t just harmful when you drink it. It has a low boiling point, so it’s in the steam of your shower. Breathing that stuff in isn’t great for your lungs, and you don’t want it soaking into your pores, either.
Minerals are important! Our bodies need iron, calcium, and magnesium to thrive. But does that mean we need buckets of them in our tap water? Not necessarily. Too many minerals in the water can irritate our skin, stain our clothes, and dry out our hair. Our basic tests check for high levels of these minerals that might be the cause of all of your scale build-up woes.
Minerals aren’t the only things that can clog up your pipes with build-up. A high pH can be the cause of scale, too, and it can make your water taste bitter. On the other hand, a low pH can cause your acidic water to eat away at the pipes. We’ll check to see if the pH of your water is balanced.
It's normal to worry about pollutants in your water. We've all been there, wanting only the best water for our families. But remember, not all contaminants are harmful. Some, like minerals or chlorine, might change the taste or feel of your water, but aren't dangerous in small amounts. The key is knowing what's in your water. Regular water testing helps identify potential issues, so you don't have to guess or stress. If something concerning is found, Morris-Jenkins is ready to help. We'll walk you through the findings and suggest solutions to make sure your water is as clean and safe as possible for your family.
So, what should you do if your water’s pH is too high or too low? Or what can be done if you find out your tap water has the chlorine levels of a public swimming pool?
There are plenty of steps you can take! There are whole-house filters, water softeners, and other solutions for balancing pH, getting rid of the chlorine, and filtering out some of those minerals. We’ll help you come up with a plan that perfectly fits your situation.
