Do I Need a Water Quality Test?
If the home that you are purchasing is older or has a private well, it's important to know the quality of water entering the home. Drinking water may contain several contaminants, some which are hazardous, and some which are not. To ensure that the home you are purchasing has a safe water supply, a professional water analysis can provide you with detailed information regarding possible water quality problems.
