Water Testing Services in CT

If you have just shifted to a new location after buying a house, it is not necessary that the water quality will be as good as the previous one. We at Anchor Home Inspection, LLC offer water testing in Connecticut. Water when untreated may contain a number of hazardous components. Public water supplies have a higher probability of being contaminated. Even if the water supply is safe, there might still be chances of contamination in the distribution system.

Testing Water Quality

Although the water that is supplied to us by a large municipal water system is safe, there still exists a chance of the presence of coliform bacteria and other minerals in an excess amount. The water quality should be tested for the presence of nitrite and nitrate compounds if the property is an agricultural area. There are also chances of excess lead in the water as old water supply pipes are joined with lead solder. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requires water tests for bacteria, nitrates, nitrites, and lead.

There can be several reasons for getting a water test.

  • To check the presence of coliform bacteria
  • To check the level of minerals in the water
  • To check the presence of lead
  • To check the presence of nitrate and nitrite compounds
  • To check water quality the well water for the presence of fertilizers, salts, or de-icers.
  • To get loan approval by the lender.

There are certain situations in which testing the water quality becomes essential more than once a year:

  • If a member of the family is pregnant
  • If the family is suffering from an unexplained illness
  • If the clarity, taste, smell, or color of the water changes
  • If the neighbor’s water system is found contaminated
  • If any part of the water system has been replaced or repaired.
