Water testing is required regularly in Leesburg, VA, irrespective of whether you get your water from a spring or well on your property or from a public source. We recommend having your drinking water tested once a year for peace of mind and to reduce the risk of illness to yourself and your family members.
Remember that our water table is extremely dynamic and ever-changing and that a lot can change in a year. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Remember that over a thousand cities across the country are now dealing with more serious water problems than Flint, Michigan, which gained national attention for the poor quality of water it provided to its residents.
Our drinking water testing in Leesburg, VA, allows you to screen for three major contaminants that can harm your health. They are as follows:
Nitrates – If you live in an agriculturally active area, this is a must-do test because nitrates are widely used in modern agriculture and can easily enter your water supply. The results of this test will show whether the amount of nitrates in your water is above acceptable levels.
Total Coliform Bacteria – This type of bacteria is one of the major causes of gastrointestinal illness. If you or a member of your family has persistent gastrointestinal problems, the water you drink could be to blame. That possibility will be confirmed or ruled out by this test.
Consider this test to be the industry standard and your first choice in most situations. Please keep in mind that if the sample you provide us fails to clear this test, we will test it for the presence of E-Coli bacteria right away.
Lead – It was lead that caused Flint, Michigan’s water supply problems. The lead, in this case, was introduced by nearby automotive factories. Nonetheless, lead may be present in the water of many older homes in our area due to outdated pipes within the property. This test will determine the exact amount of lead in your water.
It should also be noted that our drinking water testing in Leesburg, VA, does more than identify potential health hazards in your water supply. Also, keep in mind that there is a distinction between safe drinking water and high-quality water.
Finally, we offer various tests to assist you in identifying components in the water you drink that are degrading its overall quality. Understanding these elements is the first step toward improving the quality of your drinking water.
