Here’s another service to consider for spring: water testing. Problems with the quality of the water in homes is a major concern to people today. If you’re a homeowner who thinks there’s impurities in your water supply, call our team today to schedule water testing services.

What Does Water Testing Do?

Testing the water in a home is actually a simple process that won’t take up much of your time or interfere with your schedule. Our specialists take water samples from different places in your home, and then send the samples to a laboratory. Various tests will look for impurities, pH levels, alkalinity, bacteria, heavy metals, minerals, pesticides, and other issues in the water. After the tests are finished, our team will provide you with a complete rundown on what’s in your water.

The next step is water treatment system installation

We’ll go through the results of water testing and show you where you can improve the water quality—and more importantly, how. There is no “one-size-fits all” water treatment system or filter. We must match a water treatment system to the specific issues in your water supply. For example, if there are bacteria and microorganisms in your water, we can outfit your water line with a UV water disinfecting system. For heavy metals and chemicals, we can use a reverse osmosis system. Simply leave the hard work to us, and we’ll find a solution to your water quality woes!

The best way to deal with substandard quality water is to have professionals install a whole-house water treatment system, such as a water softener or a reverse osmosis filter. However, the different water treatment systems affect a variety of issues in water, and to know which system you need requires that having water testing done to pinpoint just what sort of problems the system must address.

What happens with water testing

To carry out water testing, our specialists will come to your home and take samples from throughout the house. They won’t just turn on a single tap and take a sample from there. We do a thorough job of covering all locations in your home that use running water to collect representative samples.

These samples then go to a laboratory, where tests are run on the water to find specific issues in it. These tests take about a week to complete. They include tests for pH level (acidity), hard water mineral content, and the dissolution of gases such as sulfurous oxide (which can result in the “rotten egg” smell from water).

When the testing is done, the lab returns a detailed report of the contaminants discovered in the water and if their levels are high enough to warrant remedy. Using this information, our installation experts can point you toward the water treatment system that will reduce the dangers from these contaminants. You can also rely on us to handle the installation of the system so that it works correctly.

Whether it turns out that you need a water softener, a water filter, a reverse osmosis system, or some other type of treatment for your home’s water, you can trust the experience at Lifeline Plumbing and our skilled water testing in Naperville, IL to deliver you the results that will keep your family and plumbing healthy.
