When it comes to purchasing the next home for yourself and your family, considering the water source is usually the last consideration of all. However, this needs to be on the checklist for several reasons.
Common water problems in the area
If you are moving into a completely new environment, neighborhood or area, it is always a good idea to understand the problems associated with the area. Soft water, hard water and arsenic are just three of many possible potential issues. Depending on which one, your budget might be in for a surprise when it comes time to correct the issue.
Get water tested by a local professional
While do-it-yourself tests can certainly detect certain issues, having a local professional who can do an in-depth analysis which can offer a full lab analysis is always the best choice. Water testing is inexpensive, yet can ensure the safety of you, your family and anyone who will be digesting the water for any and all types of use.
Test regularly and keep a log
As the EPA states, "The first step to protect your health and the health of your family is learning about what may pollute your source of drinking water. Potential contamination may occur naturally, or as a result of human activity."
Testing regularly will ensure the long list of contaminants are not lurking in your water. Between the atmosphere, human influence and other outside contributers, water is always at risk for being contaminated.
