Why Real Estate Water Testing is Important

Water contamination issues can significantly impact property value, buyer confidence, and health safety. Testing is essential to identify and address potential concerns before completing a transaction. Key risks include: 

Bacteria and Pathogens

Harmful microorganisms like E. coli and coliform bacteria can cause serious health problems.

Nitrates and Chemicals

Often originating from agricultural or industrial runoff, these can affect health and safety.

Lead and Heavy Metals

Contamination from aging pipes or natural deposits can pose long-term risks.
