You depend on the water from your well to wash the dishes, do laundry, take a shower, and much more. If the quality of the supply isn’t where it needs to be, it could end up causing problems with your plumbing and health. It’s essential to verify the water coming into your home is clean and free of contaminants—luckily, water-testing contractors can determine the safety of your supply and provide solutions to get it where it should be. 

Importance of Water Testing

Wells can be susceptible to a number of contaminants. Pesticides sprayed on the lawn and animal waste that has seeped into the ground can both compromise the source. By having contractors come out to your home and conduct a test, you can figure out if action is needed. 

Water Treatment Options

Depending on the contaminant that got into your well, treatment options will vary. If the water is contaminated with pesticides or other bacteria, a service will chlorinate the water to restore it back to safe conditions. 

In the event of extra minerals getting into the system, you might need to hire general contractors to install a water treatment system—this will filter the substances out. If damage was too extensive, you might have to have the pipes replaced as well. It’s important you do everything in your power to eliminate the pollution and prevent it from affecting your health.
