What a Real Estate Well Inspection Can Do for You

Monday, 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. In the past, a real estate inspection would either be a luxury for homeowners who could afford them, or a nice little bonus that’s covered in closing costs, or an extra expense that would be required for certain loans.

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.

Real estate well inspections in Tenino are a requirement prior to purchasing a home, and they could be the key to dodging a terrible situation with a house with well issues.

What Can You Find in Your Water? A Water Testing Post

Monday, August 12th, 2024

Here’s a question–why invest in water testing services if you’re not aware of what could be in your water? It’s a good question, and one that we completely understand. If you don’t know what’s potentially in your water system, then there’s no good reason to get the water tested.

But this doesn’t mean your water is clean and safe. There could be contaminants lurking in your water that you’re just unaware of.

In this industry, the more you know, the better off you’ll be. We’d like to take this opportunity to discuss some hazardous contaminants that can be found in your well water, and why testing is so important for customers who want to get fresh, clean water.

Feel free to schedule an appointment today for water testing in Puyallup if you’d like to avoid any of the following materials from contaminating your water supply.

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

Monday, 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.
