​The Importance of Water Testing in Real Estate
​When buying or selling a home, ensuring the safety and quality of the water supply is a critical step. Water testing during real estate transactions helps protect both buyers and sellers by identifying potential issues that could affect the health of the occupants and the value of the property.
Key Reasons for Water Testing in Real Estate:

Laboratory Analysis
Health Risks of Contaminated Water
Contaminated water can lead to various health issues, ranging from gastrointestinal illnesses to long-term chronic diseases.
Exposure to harmful contaminants can affect everyone, especially vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Common Health Risks Include:

Heavy Metal Poisoning
Metals such as lead and mercury can cause neurological and developmental issues, particularly in children.
Coliforms are one of the more common problems we find in well water that would cause a test to fail. So we would like to elaborate on them a little bit more.
What Are Coliforms?
_edited.png)
Coliforms are a broad category of bacteria that are commonly found in the environment, including soil, vegetation, and the intestines of warm-blooded animals. While most coliforms are harmless, their presence in drinking water can indicate potential contamination and the presence of harmful pathogens.
Types of Coliforms:
Total Coliforms
Definition: A group of bacteria that includes many types found naturally in the environment.
​
Significance: The presence of total coliforms in water suggests that there may be a pathway for other potentially harmful bacteria to enter the water supply.
Fecal Coliforms
Definition: A subgroup of total coliforms that are specifically associated with fecal matter from warm-blooded animals.
​
Significance: The presence of fecal coliforms, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), indicates direct contamination from sewage or animal waste, posing a higher risk of waterborne illness.
Escherichia coli (E. coli)
Definition: A specific type of fecal coliform bacteria commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals.
​
Significance: Certain strains of E. coli can cause severe gastrointestinal illness and other health problems. Its presence in water is a clear indication of fecal contamination.
Types of Water Testing We Offer:
Potability Testing
Microbiological Testing: Detects harmful bacteria such as E. coli and coliforms that can cause waterborne illnesses.
​
Chemical Testing: Assesses levels of chemicals, including chlorine, fluoride, and nitrates, ensuring they meet safe drinking standards.
Inorganic Contaminant Testing:
Heavy Metals:Tests for the presence of metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury, which can pose serious health risks.
​
Minerals and Salts: Analyzes levels of calcium, magnesium, and sodium to determine water hardness and overall quality.
Water Treatment Solutions
Based on the test results, we offer tailored solutions to address any identified issues, ensuring your water is safe and clean:
UV Water Treatment: Ensuring Safe and Clean Water
What is UV Water Treatment?
UV (ultraviolet) water treatment is a method of disinfecting water using ultraviolet light. This technology is highly effective at killing or inactivating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, without adding any chemicals to the water. UV treatment is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to ensure safe and clean drinking water.
How Does UV Water Treatment Work?

UV Light Source
The system includes a UV lamp that emits ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength (typically around 254 nanometers).

Water Exposure
As water passes through the UV chamber, it is exposed to the UV light. This light penetrates the cells of microorganisms, damaging their DNA and rendering them incapable of reproducing or causing infections.

Effective Disinfection
The exposure time and intensity of the UV light ensure that virtually all harmful pathogens are neutralized, providing safe and disinfected water.
Benefits of UV Water Treatment
Chemical-Free Disinfection
UV treatment does not involve any chemicals, making it a safe and environmentally friendly method for disinfecting water. There is no risk of harmful chemical residues or by-products.
Highly Effective
UV systems can effectively eliminate up to 99.99% of harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, ensuring the highest level of water safety.
Maintains Water Quality
UV treatment does not alter the taste, odor, or clarity of the water. It preserves the natural quality of the water while ensuring it is safe to drink.
Low Maintenance
UV systems are easy to maintain, requiring only periodic replacement of the UV lamp and cleaning of the quartz sleeve. There are no filters to replace or chemicals to add.
Energy Efficient
Modern UV systems are energy-efficient, using minimal power to operate. They provide continuous disinfection with low operating costs.
FILTRATION SYSTEMS
-
Activated Carbon Filters: Remove chlorine, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
-
Reverse Osmosis Systems: Eliminate heavy metals, salts, and other dissolved solids.
DISINFECTION METHODS
-
Chlorination: Effective for treating larger volumes of water and maintaining residual disinfection.
WATER SOFTENERS
-
Reduce hardness by removing calcium and magnesium, protecting your plumbing and improving water quality.
