Growing up, did you move around on a fairly regular basis?  If so, then you know firsthand that water quality can vary dramatically from one location to the next.

Some of the places you’ve lived may have had water that was to die for.  Crisp, cold and refreshing.

Other places you’ve lived may have had water that made you wish you were dead as you tried to choke it down.  If you’ve ever had the misfortune to drink bad water, you know how awful it can sometimes be.  It can smell so boggy that if makes you wonder if you’re not going to wind up drinking a tadpole.  It can taste so brackish you’re more than half convinced that you’re not going to be able to force yourself to swallow.

What’s worse is the fact that in a lot of cases, boiling the water before you drink it doesn’t help all that much.  Sure, it might lessen the bad smell or taste, but it certainly doesn’t remove it entirely.

If there’s a silver lining to be found in cases like that, it lies in the fact that most of the time, the types of issues described above won’t actually make you sick.  They’ll make you wonder if you’re going to be sick, but they won’t usually send you to the ER.

Make no mistake though, it’s still no fun to drink water like that and that’s why periodic water testing in Plains, VA is so important.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you’re getting your water from the town’s supply or from a private well or spring on your property.  You want, and have every right to know what’s in it.  That not only gives you the peace off mind that comes with knowing that the water your family relies on won’t hurt you, but it’s also an important first step in solving for serious water quality issues.

If it’s been a while since you’ve take advantage of our water testing services in Plains, VA, we’re recommend having your water tested right away in order to establish a baseline.

Then, at roughly one year intervals, have your water re-tested going forward.

The reason for that is simple:  The water you have access to changes over time, and most of the things that cause those changes are things you won’t see and won’t know about, so the only way to detect them is to test your water at regular intervals and see how your water profile changes.

If you spot a sudden, unexpected change, you can take action right away and in most cases, quickly solve for whatever problem is developing.

That’s why our water tests in Plains, VA matter.  Call us today and we’ll help guide you toward the tests you need.
