When checking the water quality, we can determine whether or not it contains improper amounts of lead, chlorine, and coliform bacteria. No natural water source is completely free of impurities, so all contaminants and pathogens must be monitored and mitigated. Water can be affected by dangerous levels of bacteria, fluoride levels, water hardness, mineral contaminants, lead, and elevated levels of nitrates.
While water system plants do test and treat water, sometimes the protections implemented can indeed fail. Southern Exposure USA offers reliable water testing services as part of our home inspections to check if your drinking water is safe. It is essential that you hire an experienced professional home inspector to keep your family safe and ensure all elements in the home are properly tested and inspected.
