Do you know what’s in your water?

Did you know your water could be contaminated? Magnolia Plumbing is now offering homes throughout Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia water quality testing services to assess the quality of your water.

The Safe Drinking Water Act mandates that the EPA strictly regulate the level of contaminates found in your community’s drinking water. To meet these water quality standards, chemicals like chlorine are added to your water supply. As part of the chlorination process, Trihalomethanes (THMs) are released to disinfect most public drinking water systems. The EPA does not allow public water systems to have more than 1/100 parts per billion of THMs in treated water. However, some municipal systems still have difficulty meeting this water quality standard, meaning your Maryland, Washington, DC or Virginia home could be plagued with unsafe drinking water.

Water quality testing services

Quality water is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, both for drinking and for hygienic reasons. Many people don’t realize that your body actually absorbs more chlorine through your skin and through inhalation during a 10-minute shower than drinking 8 glasses of water in a day! Without you even realizing it, your body is constantly being exposed to chemicals that were not filtered out of your water. This is why it is so important to have your water quality tested regularly.

Magnolia Plumbing now offers water quality testing for free with any residential plumbing service call. With no additional plumbing service, water quality testing is just $99. If you live in Maryland, Washington, DC or Northern Virginia, contact the local DC, MD and VA plumbers at Magnolia Plumbing today to schedule water quality testing today!
