Water Quality Testing Service
Why Water Quality Testing is Important
Water quality testing is a good idea, even if the water in your home tastes pure and clean. It establishes a record, so if any changes occur in your water, you’ll have proof that it wasn’t always that way.
The CDC notes some possible contaminants that may affect water quality, such as:
- Sewage releases
- Naturally occurring chemicals leaching in from the ground
- Land use practices like pesticides or fertilizers
- Manufacturing byproducts like heavy metals or cyanide
- A malfunctioning on-site wastewater treatment system, like a crack in a septic tank
The North Carolina drinking supply mainly comes from community water systems. Drinking water varies from place to place, especially if your home is on well water or is connected to an improperly maintained distribution system of pipes.
Water contamination can cause problems ranging from gastrointestinal issues to serious neurological disorders. Some less serious issues include stained clothes or bad-tasting water.
Signs of Poor Water Quality
Contact a water quality testing company if your water shows signs of poor quality, such as:
- Cloudiness
- A brown or orange color
- An oily film on top
- A frothy appearance
- A metallic or salty taste
- A scaly residue
- A sulfur or chlorine smell
- Rust on your silverware
- Sediment in the water
You may also want to have your water tested if:
- You live near gas, oil, or coal operations
- Your household plumbing contains lead
- Your household soaps won’t lather
- You live near a dump, landfill, or factory
- You live near a gas station or buried fuel tanks
If your water seems off, consider having it tested by a professional rather than trying to test water quality at home by yourself. Morris-Jenkins offers friendly and efficient same-day water quality testing services seven days a week.
Benefits of Water Quality Tests
The main benefits of getting your water quality professionally tested are:
- The peace of mind of having safe, clean drinking water
- Knowing what contaminants are in the water
- Learning what type of filtration system may be needed
When you choose Morris-Jenkins for your city water or well water testing, you’ll get a report detailing the types of chemicals in your water supply. You can also get help with installing a whole-house water filter and softener.
Public water supplies often have added chlorine to kill off bad bacteria and other germs. Having the professional plumbers at Morris-Jenkins install an in-home filtration system helps eliminate the possible issues caused by added chlorine, such as dry skin, faded clothing, chlorinated taste, and plumbing damage.
