Depending on the impurities found in water, its appearance, taste, odor, and color can take on a number of different forms. Performing a professional analysis can help identify the most common water quality concerns and the solutions to treat them. Luisier Drilling in Oconto Falls, WI, has the experience, equipment, and licensed technicians to conduct expert well inspections and other residential water system services to keep you and your family safe.

Here are just a few of the leading culprits that may affect your water supply:

• Bacteria: Groundwater moving through soil, sinkholes, quarries and other outside water sources can provide channels for bacteria to grow. Anything from coliform bacteria, which is commonly found in in soil and on vegetation, to E. Coli, a fecal contaminant, can infiltrate water systems and lead to health problems. A reputable lab has the equipment to test for a variety of bacteria and make suggestions for removal.
• Iron: Making its way into aquifers from rainwater through soil, iron is typically found at lower levels in drinking water. A reddish-brown color in the water may mean iron has not completely dissolved. Clear, colorless water could indicate complete dissolution. In either case, it is best to have a professional water system or well inspection done to determine if iron is present.
• Lead: This toxic metal typically makes its way into the water supply through pipes or solder made from lead materials. The metal can also seep in from street water mains that are connected to nearby lead service lines. A test can be performed to measure the amount of lead that is present in water and whether a system replacement is needed.
