Water Testing

Schedule an Inspection

Make Sure Your Water is Safe

If you are buying or selling a home, a thorough home inspection should be part of the process. That inspection includes water testing to make sure the home’s water is safe. Your city’s public water system is subject to testing and treatment. Once it is cleared, the water travels through extensive piping to the home’s plumbing system. These pipes could be in disrepair or contain lead, contaminating the water system. 

Before you commit to buying or selling, contact Elite Home Inspections of the Triad for a quote on water testing in Greensboro.

While it takes some companies weeks to get the results back, Elite Home Inspections of the Triad’s resources allow for fast testing and results. In a short time, you will know if the home has safe water that can be consumed by humans and pets. If it is, you can move closer to closing on the house. 

What Does Water Testing Reveal?

Elite Home Inspections of the Triad’s inspectors are trained in water testing. The inspector’s test checks for various contaminants, including:

• Bacteria, Such as Coliform and E. Coli

• High Levels of Nitrites and Nitrates

• Elevated Fluoride Levels

• Iron, Arsenic, and Other Mineral Contaminants

• Lead and Other Heavy Metals

• Water Hardness

While it takes some companies weeks to get the results back, Elite Home Inspections of the Triad’s resources allow for fast testing and results. In a short time, you will know if the home has safe water that can be consumed by humans and pets. If it is, you can move closer to closing on the house. 

Health Risks of Consuming Low-Quality Water

Buyers, sellers, and real estate agents are wise to have the water tested before closing a deal due to the health risks associated with consuming low-quality water. These risks can be deadly in some cases.

Long-term health problems are also a concern. People who drink contaminated water for a long time can develop:

• Neurological Disorders

• Developmental Problems

• Cardiovascular Disease

• Respiratory Disease

• Cancer

Drinking contaminated water can cause short-term health problems, such as:

• Skin Rashes

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

Safe water is necessary to keep your family safe. Without water testing in Greensboro, your family could develop serious health conditions.

Follow a Schedule for Water Testing in Greensboro

If you are buying or selling a home, perform water testing before closing the deal. Water testing should also be a normal part of occupying a home. You need to test your water annually in most conditions. However, if you have infants or elderly people who are susceptible to water-borne diseases, a water testing schedule of every six months is appropriate. This will ensure that your family is only exposed to safe water. 

Regular inspections don’t just ensure the water is safe. By conducting annual or semiannual water tests, the inspectors can track changes to see if the treatment system is working.
