Who wants to drink or use water filled with sketchy stuff? Definitely not us! But for many homeowners, that's the reality, and they might not even know their water isn't as pure as they think. Invisible bacteria, heavy metals, or chemicals can sneak into your water supply, mess with your plumbing, change the taste of your water, and even affect your health.
That's where Morris-Jenkins comes in! With our water quality testing services in Harrisburg, we're gonna dive deep into what's lurking in your water and spot potential issues. From there, we'll help you find ways to boost your water quality, whether it's through filtration, treatment, or other solutions.
Does your water smell like chlorine, metal, or rotten eggs? These smells might mean there are chemical imbalances, bacteria, or too many minerals.
If your water looks murky, amber, or brownish, it could have sediment, iron, or rust from aging pipes.
Noticed a white film on your faucets or dishes? Hard water leaves minerals that could shorten the life of your appliances.
Too many minerals in your water can lead to dry skin, brittle hair, and might even cause itching or discomfort after showers.
High mineral levels in your water can cause dry skin, brittle hair, and may even lead to itching or irritation after a shower.
When you book a plumbing diagnostic or repair in Harrisburg, we can do a basic water quality test for FREE! This test checks chlorine levels and other important factors to give you a quick look at your water's condition.
Looking for something more detailed? We offer photometer testing, which examines the ten most crucial water quality parameters. Our team will collect a sample of your water and use our in-office lab equipment for a thorough analysis. The next day, we'll follow up to explain your results and discuss any options to improve your water quality in your Harrisburg home.
Chlorine is one of the biggest things we look for with our free test. This chemical can be sneaky since you might not smell it unless it’s mixing with other contaminants. You might notice cloudy water or a chlorine smell on your skin after a shower. It can end up in the steam that you breathe in from your shower, so it’s good to test for it even if you don’t drink your tap water.
If you hear a plumber say you have “hard water,” it just means there are a lot of minerals in your water. It’s nothing to be worried about, but it can cause problems with your plumbing like mineral build-up. It can also make your skin and hair feel dry and uncomfortable after a shower.
If your water has a low pH, you might notice an acidic taste. Over time, this acidic water can cause your pipes to wear out faster and get corroded. On the other end of the scale, water with a high pH isn’t much better. It has a bitter taste, and instead of corroding your pipes, can cause a build-up of minerals on the inside. That might be the reason for your low water pressure or clogs. We test the pH of your water to see if there are any problems.
It's normal to worry about pollutants getting into your water supply. We've all been there, wanting nothing but the purest water for our families. But take a moment, breathe, and remember that not every contaminant is harmful. Some, like minerals or chlorine, might change the taste or texture of your water, but they're not dangerous in small amounts.
