From drinking and cooking to bathing and washing dishes, water plays a big part in a home or business’s day-to-day tasks. Knowing that your water supply is safe is one important reason why professional water testing and analysis are worth the time and effort. Fertig Drilling in Elko, NV, continues to be the area’s premier provider of this important service.

Property owners who rely on well water should have their water tested at least once a year to identify any signs of bacteria, lead, or other contaminants. Consider having a water testing and analysis more frequently in the following scenarios:

• Water Changes: Any noticeable changes in your water’s color, odor, or taste can be tested to determine if either surrounding flood waters, damaged well caps, or newly-discovered sources of contamination could be the culprit.
• Septic System Problems: If you’re experiencing problems with a septic system, the malfunction could impact your well water supply.
• Infants: It pays to have a water testing and analysis if an infant is in the home. Because most baby formulas require adding water, the liquid must be free of contaminants.
• Illness: Family members in the household with a history of gastrointestinal illnesses can potentially be at risk if the well water supply has been compromised.
• Area Contamination: If your property is located in an area with a background of bacteria contamination, consider water testing and analysis more than once a year.
