WATER SAMPLING
When you have a water well at your home, you should be keenly aware of the water coming through the faucets. If there is any change in the water, either in the odor, color, or taste, or if you see any cloudiness or sediment, Swansons Well Service of Strawn, IL urges you to call for immediate water sampling. Other telltale signs of problems with your water include stains in your bathtub, the presence of sand, and air spurting from your faucets.
​
By calling us for a water quality inspection, you are protecting your family from water-borne illnesses. Our water testing equipment checks for all contaminants, including coliform and nitrates. Contamination can come from many sources, including dumping, having the well too close to a septic system, construction, and feedlot runoff. Every time we open your well for repair or maintenance, we will thoroughly disinfect it to prevent bacterial infestation.
Our water testing is done under sterile conditions so we do not introduce bacteria into your water sample or well. Our bacterial scan will be done at a lab with results typically available within 48 hours. If you fertilize or live near a farm, nitrates may pose an issue in your water. We will perform a water nitrates analysis at every annual test to determine the water’s nitrate levels. Levels above 10 mg/liter pose dangers to children under six months old, but slightly higher levels are relatively harmless to healthy adults.
