When we perform a home inspection, we typically look at the key systems, including the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural components. Our home inspections can also include water quality testing when necessary.
Here are three reasons why we include water quality testing in our home inspections.
- Keep your family and visitors safe: When you use water for drinking, cooking, bathing, etc., it’s important to have complete confidence in the cleanliness and safety of your water. Unfortunately, all sorts of bacteria and chemicals can be hidden in your water. Water quality testing can test the water for any dangerous or concerning substances, bacteria, or chemicals.
- Test the hardness of the water: If the water for the property is hard with mineral compounds, it can build up over time and cause issues for plumbing fixtures like pipes, water heaters, faucets, etc. Water quality testing can help you to know exactly what to expect and plan whether a water softener might be appropriate for the property.
- Provide peace of mind: Even if water quality testing provides negative results for any concerning elements in the water, this is still beneficial to help you have a better peace of mind before purchasing the home or using the water.
Whether you need to test the quality of your water or that of a potential property, you can turn to us at Rocking T Home Inspections. We can also perform thorough inspections for the rest of the home as well.
