Contaminants and microorganisms can compromise your home’s water, and it’s not always easy to tell if your tap water is safe. But how can you know for sure?
That's where Morris-Jenkins steps in! With our water quality testing services in Kannapolis, we’ll dig deep into what’s in your water and help you find solutions—whether that means filtration, treatment, or other fixes.
Does your water smell like chlorine, metal, or rotten eggs? These smells could mean there are chemical inconsistencies, bacteria, or too many minerals.
If your water looks murky, amber, or chestnut, it might be holding sediment, iron, or rust from old pipes.
Noticed a white film on your taps or plates? Hard water causes mineral deposits that could shorten the life of your appliances.
Too many minerals in your water can lead to dry skin, fragile hair, and might even cause itching or discomfort after a shower.
Too many minerals in your water can lead to dry skin, fragile hair, and might even cause itching or discomfort after a shower.

You've probably heard about chlorine's role in killing germs in your local pool, but why would it be in your home's water supply? The answer is simple—it's for the same purpose! City water systems add chlorine to kill bacteria, but too much can dry out your skin, dull your hair, or make your coffee taste strange.
Vitamins and minerals—we've all had our doctors remind us of their importance since we were kids. But when it comes to your water, minerals like calcium and magnesium can sometimes create more problems than they're worth. These minerals are naturally found in many water sources and can lead to what's called "hard water."
Hard water isn't bad to drink, but it can cause chaos on your plumbing and appliances. It leads to limescale buildup in your pipes, water heater, and even on your dishes, which can make your home less efficient and bump up your energy bills. Plus, it can leave your skin and hair feeling dry and dull after a shower.
You want your water’s pH to be at a seven. Good ole seven is the direct middle of the pH scale, which means your water isn’t acidic or basic. High pH makes slippery, bitter water that causes buildup on your fixtures. Low pH creates sour water that can eat away at your pipes. Getting your water pH right in the middle is the healthiest for your plumbing!
Now, a pH of 6 or 8 might sound “close enough,” but anything more or less than seven can cause problems faster than you think. If you’ve been having problems with leaky pipes or a clogged water heater, this is a sign that your pH balance may be off, and it’s time for some water quality testing!
