A Sewer Backup Is A Nasty Affair, Ensure Your Home Is Protected With A Sewer Camera Inspection.

A sewer backup is a disgusting and expensive event that can be costly when you own a home.

A sewer camera inspection before you purchase the home will help ensure that the main sewer line is free of problems that can cause headaches after you move in. Experience high-end technology to resolve your drainage problems. The inspector inserts a flexible rod with a specialized high resolution camera, up to 100 feet into your main sewer line. Real-time image transmission allows the inspector to determine the condition of the inside of the pipe and understand any existing or potential problems.

Common Questions About Water Testing
How to test water quality?

To test water quality:

  • Get a testing kit or contact a professional service like Peak Environmental.
  • Follow instructions for sample collection and testing.
  • Perform tests for bacteria, pH, chlorine, and contaminants.
  • Interpret results or seek expert guidance.
  • Take appropriate action for water treatment or improvement. Choose Peak Environmental for reliable water testing. Contact us today.

Experts recommend testing your water at least once a year for bacteria, nitrates, and total dissolved solids (TDS). However, the frequency of testing will depend on a few factors, such as the age of your well, the depth of the well, and environmental risk factors. For example, if your well is older or located near agricultural or industrial areas, you may want to test more frequently.

The most common home water contaminants include lead, fluoride, chlorine, bacteria, viruses, nitrates, and arsenic. Lead is a harmful heavy metal that can seep into the water supply from old lead pipes or outdated plumbing fixtures. Exposure to lead can cause long-term health effects, particularly in children. Fluoride is added to water in some areas as a form of dental health treatment, but excessive amounts of fluoride can be dangerous to human health. Chlorine is used to disinfect water as it passes through the municipal water system, but itcan create unwanted byproducts that are known carcinogens. Bacteria and viruses can also find their way into the water supply and cause illness. Nitrates are chemicals that come primarily from fertilizer and can be particularly harmful to infants. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that can be found in groundwater and can cause skin damage and other serious health issues over time. It is important to regularly test your water for these contaminants to ensure that it is safe for you and your family to drink.

Well water does not necessarily have fluoride, as it is not regulated or treated like municipal water. Fluoride is typically added to municipal water supplies to aid in the prevention of tooth decay. However, the presence of fluoride in well water is dependent on the local geology and mineral content of the surrounding area. Some regions naturally have high levels of fluoride in their groundwater, while others have very low levels. In fact, several states recommend testing private wells for fluoride levels, as excessive amounts of fluoride in drinking water can lead to health issues such as dental fluorosis and bone disease. Therefore, if you rely on well water for your drinking needs, it’s crucial to have your water tested regularly to ensure it meets safety and health standards.
Contaminated water poses health risks such as gastrointestinal problems, infections, skin irritations, and respiratory complications. Common contaminants include bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial pollutants. Short-term effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and skin rashes, while long-term exposure can lead to chronic illnesses and organ damage. Regular water testing is essential to identify and address contamination. At Peak Environmental, our certified professionals offer advanced testing and provide solutions such as filtration systems and water purification methods to ensure the safety of your water supply.

When it comes to water testing, professional testing offers accurate and reliable results with comprehensive analysis of contaminants. Certified experts use specialized equipment and provide expert interpretation of results, ensuring peace of mind. DIY testing may lack precision and overlook potential hazards. Also, DIY testing often requires you to interpret the results on your own, which can be challenging without proper knowledge and expertise.
