To many people, good quality water is just water that isn’t coming out of the tap looking rust-colored or hiding dangerous bacteria. But the issue can be a little more complicated than that. Even if your water isn’t dangerous, you might still find yourself buying bottled water to drink because you don’t like the taste of your tap water. You might also be struggling with a few mild health problems like dry, itchy skin, or irritated lungs.
At Morris-Jenkins, we want you to have water you enjoy drinking straight from the tap and that doesn’t give you any other issues. If you have any problems with your water you’d like to solve, we’d love to tell you about our water quality testing in Harrisburg.
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.
After all of the time you spend cooking, cleaning, and showering with your tap water, you’ll have a pretty good idea of the quality of your water. If you’ve noticed something off, our tests are probably gonna confirm what you’ve known all along. They’ll just give you more specific information so that you can target the problem and find the perfect solution. You may want your water quality tested in a few different situations such as:
We’re so happy we can offer free water quality tests for some of the most common water quality problems when you schedule any plumbing diagnostic. These tests will search for things that can end up in the tap water of many homes. We test for:
Chlorine
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.
pH
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.
Water “Hardness”
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.
Once we test your water, it’ll only take a few minutes to get your results back. Then we can talk about what you’ll need to do next. If you have poor quality water, our plumbers will let you know what you can do to fix it. We might recommend a water softener, water filtration, or a water purification system. There are lots of ways to fix water that has too many minerals or chlorine.
We offer other options if you want something more accurate and in-depth. Our photometer testing assesses the ten most common parameters that impact water quality! We’ll take a sample of your water and test it with our in-office lab equipment. We can then follow up with you the following day to explain the results and answer anything about ways to improve your water quality.
The process of getting your water quality tested is easy here at Morris-Jenkins. We don’t make you jump through a lot of hoops because that’s not the kind of service we’d want. If you don’t have time to have a plumber come over during the day, that won’t be a problem with our team. We’re open til midnight every day! We don’t charge more when we come out on the weekend or in the evening.
We always go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of. Whether that’s giving you the same advice we’d give to our own family, or whether it’s taking a few extra minutes to answer a question or just chat about life. We’re not just your plumbers, we’re also your neighbors. When you need help with water quality testing in Harrisburg, give us a call.
