Your Home’s Water Quality Matters

Clean, safe water is essential to your family’s health.  Poor water quality can also negatively affect your home’s plumbing distribution system and water-using appliances.  Water quality can be affected by many factors, including aging infrastructure, the environment, and local geological conditions. Whether you rely on a public water system or private well, water testing is your first line of defense.

Untreated water problems may impact your health in serious ways. Bacteria, viruses, arsenic, radon and other potential contaminants found in New England, if detected, need to be addressed.

Hard water can damage appliances and plumbing and create white scale build-up on fixtures. Acidic water may corrode pipes and plumbing system components, leading to costly repairs. High levels of iron can cause corrosion and staining on fixtures and laundry, while also affecting your water’s taste and smell.

If you’re concerned about the quality of your tap water, you’re not alone. Contact us to schedule a free on-site water quality test when you fill out the form below. We offer testing in your home and broader laboratory testing for truly comprehensive results.

When Is Laboratory Testing Necessary?

Water from a private well usually requires more extensive testing than town/city water. If you depend on a well for your drinking water, it’s wise to have it tested even if it looks clear and tastes fine. Many dangerous contaminants, like chemicals and bacteria, can be difficult, if not impossible, to detect without testing.

It can sometimes be easy to tell that contaminants are present in your water supply. If you notice any of the following issues in your home, they’re good indicators you should consider ordering a lab test (even if you rely on public water):

If you’re selling your home with a private well, you may have to order a test to ensure safety. Your bank, town’s Board of Health, or a home inspector might dictate what must be tested for. Our professionals at H2O Care will assist in determining which testing package is right for you.

Because we care about our clients…

The water in our new home was discolored and smelled awful. Steve at H2O care tested the water and set us up with a filtration system that solved the problem quickly and fully. This is the single most satisfying home improvement we have ever made. Highly recommended.
