Ensure Water Quality in Your Commercial Property: What's in Your Water?
The water supplying your commercial building may appear clean, but its journey through miles of potentially old, corroded, or leaky pipes can introduce various contaminants. Groundwater infiltration can further compromise water quality, bringing in unknown pollutants. Protecting the health of your occupants and the integrity of your operations begins with understanding your water source.
Consider the proximity of your water source to potential industrial or environmental hazards. Is it within 10 miles of dry cleaning businesses, metal processing companies, mining operations, industrial sites, farming areas, or landfills? Is it within 1 mile of gas stations, older cemeteries, saltwater shorelines, or highway salt storage? Provide us with this information, and we will recommend the precise tests to ensure the safety and quality of your commercial building's water supply.
Understanding Our Water Quality Testing for Commercial Properties
Our water quality tests comprehensively assess your commercial building's water supply for a range of contaminants and pollutants, including chlorine, lead, and coliform bacteria. Testing also reveals imbalances in pH levels and other factors, verifying that your water is potable and safe for all daily uses within your commercial structure.
Mortgage lenders often mandate water quality testing for properties utilizing private wells, and Aardvark Commercial Inspections is recognized as a trusted, independent tester. While general results are typically available within 48 hours, tests for specific minerals and other contaminants may require detailed lab analysis, extending the turnaround time.
