Water Quality Inspection
A Home Inspection by Dominican Home Inspections will help you make a sound purchasing decision based on accurate, objective information.
BACTERIOLOGICAL WATER TEST
The bacteriological water test is used to determine if the water is safe to drink by testing for the presence of coliform bacteria.
The presence of coliform bacteria is an indication that other harmful bacteria may be present. If any of the many species of coliform bacteria are detected, additional testing is done to determine if fecal coliform bacteria is present. Fecal coliform bacteria is present in human waste, and its presence may indicate that the well is being contaminated by a nearby on-site septic system.
Water wells contaminated with bacteria can usually be made safe to use by disinfecting the water with chlorine or an ultraviolet treatment system.
CHEMICAL WATER TEST
The standard chemical water analysis is used to determine the levels of the following contaminants:
- pH
- Total Iron
