What a Real Estate Well Inspection Can Do for You

September 23rd, 2024

Real estate inspections are talked about a lot in the real estate market, but their value is a little underrated right now.

Well, what about a well inspection? Wells are an immensely important part of a home, and most conventional real estate inspections don’t cover this part of the property. A malfunctioning well could mean a disaster for you and your family when your newly purchased home swaps hands.

UV Water Purifiers: How They Work and Why They’re a Great Choice

July 8th, 2024

Pure water isn’t just a phrase we throw around easily. In order for us to call water “pure” it needs to meet certain standards. For instance, pure water should be drinkable, but it should also smell clean and fresh. The way water smells, tastes, and even looks can be impacted by the biological contaminants found within it.

If only it were as simple as boiling it or using iodine–and while those solutions might be fine if you’re camping in the great outdoors, they’re not very good when the water comes directly from your tap. So, what can you do?

UV water purifiers in Tenino are the perfect solution to this problem. They can treat your water by removing biological contaminants without needing more energy than what’s needed to run a small lightbulb. Let’s talk about how this works and why it’s such an amazing process.
