When you’re taking a swig of your tap water, how often do you stop and think about what’s in it? After all, it’s not making you or your family sick and it seems to look pretty clean and clear! It’s true that most tap water is tested and treated before it gets to your house. But even if it’s completely free from some of the worst contaminants like parasites or bacteria, it could still be causing problems around the home. We’re here to find out if some of these issues might be because of your water. We have water quality testing in Fort Mill to check for some of the most common contaminants.
We keep our trucks fully stocked, so we can test your water quality then and there—no need to schedule another appointment.
You’ll always know the price of your water quality test before any work begins.
We’re here ’til midnight and available on weekends, too.
Since our basic home water quality testing is free, our question for you is “why not?” It’s a quick test that’ll give you some great information about your home’s tap water. But you should especially consider it if you’re noticing problems around your home. The biggest tip-offs are sour-tasting water, water that smells like a swimming pool, stains on your clothing or fixtures, and dry skin or hair.
At Morris-Jenkins, there are a lot of tests we can order for you if you’re worried about something specific. But our free residential water quality testing helps us check for some of the most common things that can end up in your Fort Mill water. Here’s what’s included in your basic test:
Minerals
It might seem a little confusing at first that we’re testing for high levels of minerals. After all, people go out of their way to take vitamins for them! While things like calcium, magnesium, and iron won’t do you any harm to drink, they can cause a lot of inconveniences around the house. You’ll spend hours trying to scrub the stains off of the faucets that were shiny just one year ago, and you may start to get lower water pressure or some clogs in your plumbing. Plus, you can get annoying yellow and white stains on your clothes. Our water quality tests check for water hardness.
Chlorine
That swimming pool smell might remind you a lot of summer vacation, but it’s not a great sign for your water. Chlorine can end up in the steam that you breathe in while you take a shower and your lungs aren’t gonna be very happy about that. It can irritate your airways, make it hard to breathe, and make your eyes red and sore. It can also dry out your skin. Chlorine is one of the most common things to end up in your tap water because it’s used to kill off bacteria, viruses, and other harmful bugs.
High or Low Acidity
Here’s a little science lesson: have you ever used baking soda and vinegar to make a volcano? When you did, you were using something with a high pH (alkaline) and something with a low pH (acidic) to get that cool reaction. When it comes to water, you don’t want it too far on either end. You could end up with sour “acidic” water that corrodes your pipes or “alkaline” water that clogs them up. Our tests look at your water’s pH levels.
We’re always so excited when we get a call about home water quality testing. That’s because we love taking care of homes and families in Fort Mill. It’s a great feeling to know your water is healthy, and we wanna help you get there.
When you decide you wanna get water quality testing done, contact us however you want. You can send us a quick text or talk to one of our local team members on our LiveChat. We’ll get out to you whenever it works for you. We’re here til midnight, so any time is good for us.
After the test, you’ll get your results back. Hopefully, everything looks good and you won’t have to do anything else. But if your home water quality tests are coming back with high levels of minerals or chlorine or a pH that’s too high or too low, you may wanna take a few follow-up steps. The good news is that you’ll already have a plumber there to help. We’ll talk you through your options whether that means getting a filter, a water softener, or something else.
When you need residential water quality testing, make sure you call our team at Morris-Jenkins first! We’ll get you a free test that’ll check the basics. Or ask about our other wide range of tests! We’re here for you and your water.
