I'm going to address this question by saying that it depends on the person. What does "safe" mean? Safe for you, safe for me, safe frankly is subjective. I personally live in an area where water quality isn't a big concern and I have a well on my property which would be considered high quality due to its depth and clarity of water; but if your well sits near highways or dangerous factories and something spills leading to its contamination then yea, it's not as good a bet. A lot of people will say that the shower at their gym because there are fewer showers available than people trying to use them, but don't take this as permission to bypass your own responsibility just because everyone else seems complacent.

There are some water-borne parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidium that you COULD get from well water. But the low incidence of these parasite infections in people who drink well water supports the idea that using a chlorination system (like home use chlorinator drops) is an effective way to prevent them, and there are no public reports of these parasites ever being contracted when properly treated.

The water needs to be safe to drink if the well is properly built and maintained. Water needs to be treated according to EPA guidelines for private or public use, regardless of whether it's being used in agriculture, industry, or a residence. That means that it must: Be disinfected before entering the distribution system (underground throuout the building) by applying chemicals appropriate for protection against bacterial contamination; have an approved backflow preventer installed where required in accordance with plumbing codes; and have other protections provided that can remove turbidity from source waters as necessary. For public water systems, these requirements are regulated by EPA under SDWA in conjunction with state and local governments. For private wells, users may need special treatment requirements.

When you test the water, it's necessary to test for a variety of things depending on what the water will be used for. If your well is going to be used primarily for drinking (or even just making coffee), then you'll want to focus on how pure the water is before anything else. The two tests that are absolutely necessary in this case are bacteria and nitrates - both can easily contaminate your groundwater supply if they make their way up from underground. These contaminants could result in anyone at any age becoming sick and contracting potentially life-threatening diseases such as Typhoid Fever or E Coli infection with just one ingestion of contaminated water, so testing should never be skipped!

When a lead inspection is conducted, the inspector typically uses a gas-powered XRF analyzer to identify the presence of lead within paint. The machine takes an x-ray that passes through the painted surface and measures composition on its way out. Results, it says, are produced in less than half a minute at relatively low cost for painting both residential and commercial properties with accuracy to 0.5% (lead). It detects more clearly where there might be risk of paint containing lead such as near an outlet or anywhere on top of molding on doors and windowsills where children’s hands might touch it often.

A home lead inspection can take as long as it needs to. The lead inspector will inspect the property from top to bottom. Inspecting a home for more than an hour is not uncommon and should not alarm anyone - that could just be how long it takes. Lead inspectors are required to document their findings in detail, which may be time-consuming if there are any true safety issues found. Inspectors must also provide buyers with important information about potential hazards and preventative measures that they'll want to have taken before buying or renting the property to ensure protection against lead exposure for them and their family members moving forward.

Reverse osmosis and distillation are two ways to remove lead from drinking water. Reverse osmosis filters the water through a thin membrane that only allows filtered water to pass through, leaving contaminants behind. Distillation involves boiling the contaminated liquid and re-condensing it into clean drinkable liquid, as well as passing it through an electrochemical filter to remove all traces of bacteria, viruses or parasites.

If the water is from your tap, try using the cold-water faucet nearest to the source of the problem. If you're not sure which faucet to use, ask someone who lives in your home (if it's a rental unit) or contact your landlord. Some sources claim that warm water has higher levels of lead than cold water because corrosion causes more release of lead into tap water when it's used for cooking and washing dishes; if this is true, then trying running your water from the cold-water taps will help reduce lead concentrations.

There are several reliable sources for comprehensive lead water testing, including state-certified labs. Lead is a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause serious health problems to young children and pregnant women, as well as cause brain damage in adults. Furthermore, studies show that the risk of these problems increases with higher levels of exposure to lead. Studies have shown that when pregnant women or children drink water containing lead at levels of 10 parts per billion or more for 90 days or longer, they will likely experience some intellectual decrements compared to children who drink water with no lead content. These effects may be even greater when exposures are sustained over shorter periods than 90 days."

Mold needs a damp environment to grow. When it dries out, the outer layer of cells shrivel up and die. Without that moist environment, mold cannot fulfill its lifecycle by expressing its functions for reproduction and spreading. However, inside your home there are many ways for mold to find moisture - such as high humidity or excessive wood rotting. These environments will allow the mold to thrive despite drying out on the surface of their colonies. The best way to fight against pesky molds is prevention--to increase floor ventilation with air conditioning or ceiling fans, since this reduces humidity caused by bathing or cooking indoors.

Most homeowners can expect to pay around $650 on average Coverage includes: 24-hour emergency response, sample collection and analysis, remediation of the mold infestation. Mold removal pricing starts at $59 for water damage and goes up from there. Mold testing is a little more expensive as labor associated with sampling cost and gear are much higher than a simple test kit or examination kit. Expect to spend upwards of $680-$800 just for testing alone--not to mention the equipment costs that may be needed before you even get started!

You can get sick in many ways from bad air quality. For example, high levels of particles in the air have been shown to cause pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease. Pollutant gases may contribute to cancer or reduce immunity and are thought to be connected with the development of childhood asthma and allergies. Children inside a house with high levels of particulates or pollutant gas during their first six months are more likely to develop respiratory symptoms, including pneumonia, croup, wheezing cough, or bronchitis when they grow up than those living in homes with lower concentrations are. Bad indoor air quality is also linked to an increased risk for developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke though it's not clear why breathing dirty air seems so risky.

Some symptoms often linked to poor indoor air quality are: Headache, runny nose, sore throat, dryness and irritation of eyes or throat, coughing. Poor indoor air quality is the norm in most homes and workplaces because toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene can't be smelled or seen by humans until they have built up in the air to high levels. A lack of natural light can also worsen symptoms of poor indoor air quality because it impedes our body's ability to "reset" itself by interpreting respiration rates at night time (usually when our bodies should be asleep) when we're exposed to fresh morning light.

Mold investigators are typically considered experts in microbiology. Molds do not produce the same kind of spores and the quantity that other bugs generate into the air. Mold inspection is a tedious but necessary operation. In general, mold inspections involve the following three steps: 1) Identify high-risk locations where people spend most of their time (bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms). 2) Make sure all surfaces are clean (specifically hidden areas where water often leaks - under the refrigerator, washer/dryer appliances etc.). 3) Inspect for any evidence of mold exposure by observing stains on carpeting; checking electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures for signs of leakage; looking at walls and ceilings between tiles or layers for discoloration.

Answer: Yes, mold air tests are very reliable when performed by a certified professional. An Inspector should survey the property for visible mold, moisture and air leaks; conduct an inspection to measure airborne particulates and fungi present in the structure; assess occupant complaints or reports of symptoms that may indicate a potential exposure event; review available records to identify past water intrusion events or spills that may have led to contamination of the building's environment; and give advice on remediation options. Asking for legal records on water damage is also wise as there will likely be some indication of what happened in these cases and any steps taken to remediate it.

Yes. The indoor Air Quality test will analyze air for mold spores, EPA-regulated and World Health Organization-recognized chemicals, gases, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), biological allergens like household dust mites, and cockroach feces dust or droppings. (Tandem laboratories) Certain people are especially susceptible to one or more of these contaminants. At the same time, certain combinations of harmful contaminants can have a multiplying effect on adverse health effects. For example, someone with asthma may be more susceptible to an asthmatic response from any given amount of noxious substances in the air. Or someone with a compromised immune system may also succumb to the riskier hazards that exist at elevated levels in their home environment - such as rad.

Answer: Yes, you should always have a mold inspection when buying a house. A lot of homes have issues that lead to the growth and proliferation of mold spores. The problem is that some people may not be able to notice the symptoms or signs related to mold until it’s too late. You hear about health complications related to mold, but not as often about people developing allergies from stagnant water trapped in walls behind windows - so make sure you are on top of this! A homeowner has traditionally been worried they would find out their home had extensive developments of black or greenish-black staining in various rooms and under furniture at ground level.

The cost of a mold inspection can vary depending on many factors including the service area that you need to be inspected. In some cases, such as with professional inspections in commercial applications which are rare but can be expensive, costs can vary from $500 to over $1,000. The best way to find out where your home or business falls on the spectrum is by getting a quote from a certified company that specializes in mold testing and remediation like Healthy Home Environmental Services.

You can test your well water for bacteria by taking a sample and sending it to a lab for testing. This way you can find out if there are any pathogens or other harmful microorganisms in your drinking water. These labs often charge based on the complexity of the testing, so an important question to ask initially would be what tests need to be run and how many samples they generally need from one location to get accurate results. Keep in mind that some rural areas cannot rely on municipal water sources, but instead must drill their own wells-- this process typically involves bringing groundwater up from deep within the earth through boreholes, which may also bring contaminants such as nitrates and arsenic closer to the surface, making them more available for human consumption.

When testing for water contaminants the turnaround time for lab results is 48 hours.

Bacteria in well water and other pathogens cause a variety of diseases. Waterborne diseases are caused by microorganisms like bacteria in well water, viruses, protozoa, giardia and helminths (parasitic worms). Sickness occurs when water contaminated with these pathogens is consumed or when food prepared with contaminated water is eaten.

Healthy Home Environmental Services will visit your property in Kissimmee to collect a water sample, store it in an iced cooler for transportation to the laboratory for 2 day sample results.

Some of the most common water tests are for bacteria in water (Total Coliform and E. Coli) We also collect water samples for FHA/VA loans on properties with well water. These tests can include Bacteria, Lead, Nitrates, Nitrites, Iron, Manganese and Turbidity. Certain Lenders may require additional testing like Arsenic. Be sure to check with your Lender to determine what type of testing they are requiring.

It's impossible to determine what type of mold you have without laboratory analysis. If you have active mold growth it is most likely because it has a source of water for it to grow.

We are not a mold remediation company, we are a mold testing company. Please reach out to James at 407-283-1069 for mold removal. Depending on what they find he may recommend a mold assessment and remediation protocol report first.

Mold can cause damage to your home, leading to an increased risk for health problems. In addition those who have a chronic condition such as asthma could experience more severe symptoms and complications because it's common for these types of allergies/asthma sufferers are allergic or sensitive towards certain molds found in indoor environments which might lead them into allergy attacks if they come too close contact with these pests. Mold is not always bad news- sometimes people think that all forms produce by this fungus must be harmful but there actually many different species within every type! We can provide you with a mold inspection, contact us at (407) 273-9387

You may not see signs of mold, but you'll know if there's something growing in your walls. It could be a musty smell that indicates hidden moisture and growth for fungi or bacteria to form on surfaces like water stains, dark rings around light fixtures where they are too close together because it will get wet more often than other areas which causes standing room between tiles allowing air bubbles trapped out by fungus spores so when we flush toilet bowl with boiling hot H2O person tap has been known too crack paint/wallpaper easily; Deterioration such as peeling bubbling cracking etc...

I do NOT work for healthy homes. I use air purifiers at my home, it might help clean the mold spores from the air but it will not fix or have any affect on the cause of the mold issue. Best bet is to contact healthy homes for an air quality assessment.

Hello Pam Please check your policy and see if you have a mold rider. Most policies inFlorida include this. Then it will require an inspection to determine the source as well as the types and levels of mold present.

If the purpose of your testing is for any kind of loan you would need third party testing. An inspector would come and collect the sample and take it to a local lab for analysis. If you just want to know if you have bacteria in your water you could contact EMSL or Flowers lab directly for collection instructions and pricing. For more information regarding water testing please contact our office at 407-273-9387.

Many kits are available for do-it-yourself tap testing, but it's not always clear what they test for or how accurate they are. Contact us today for a certified well water test. (407) 273-9387

Types of test that can be done on well water are pH, hardness, nitrates, coliform bacteria, lead, calcium carbonate levels. These tests can help determine whether the well water is safe to drink or not. Even if the water is safe to drink when tested - it should still be provided through a proper filtration system in order to protect your plumbing and washing machine from contamination by debris and minerals that can affect performance. It's worth considering installing a reverse osmosis (RO) filter or an activated filter with under-sink storage tank for drinking purposes especially if you don't want any toxic substances like fluoride in your tap water. Contact us today if you need a well water test.

Good afternoon Charles, depending on what type of a water test you are requesting turnaround time for most results is usually 2 days.

Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.

Apartments can have the same indoor air problems as single-family homes because many of the pollution sources, such as the interior building materials, furnishings, and household products, are similar. Indoor air problems similar to those in offices are caused by such sources as contaminated ventilation systems, improperly placed outdoor air intakes, or maintenance activities.

Outdoor air enters and leaves a house by infiltration, natural ventilation, and mechanical ventilation. In a process known as infiltration, outdoor air flows into the house through openings, joints, and cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings, and around windows and doors. In natural ventilation, air moves through opened windows and doors. Air movement associated with infiltration and natural ventilation is caused by air temperature differences between indoors and outdoors and by the wind.

Since black mold can cause respiratory problems, it is best to stay out of any area that has been affected by the mold.

The importance of water testing in a laboratory is to ensure that the water is safe for human consumption and meets all regulatory requirements. Laboratories use a variety of tests to detect contaminants in water, including chemical, physical, and microbiological tests.

Yes, you can request a mold inspection service. However, it's important to note that not all mold is harmful. There are different types of mold, and some are more harmful than others. If you're concerned about the presence of mold in your home, it's best to consult with a professional to get an accurate diagnosis.

Mold inspection and testing is the process of inspecting and testing an area for the presence of mold. This can be done to determine if there is a mold problem, and if so, what kind of mold is present.

Mold inspection is not always required before remediation, but it is recommended in order to properly assess the extent of the mold problem and develop an effective remediation plan. If there is visible mold growth, sampling may be necessary to determine the type of mold and the level of contamination.

There are a few benefits of hiring a mold inspection service. First, they can help identify the source of the mold and how to fix it. They can also test the air quality in your home to see if it's safe to breathe. Finally, they can recommend ways to prevent mold from growing in your home in the future.

Your indoor air quality is probably bad because you have a lot of things in your home that release chemicals, including carpets, upholstery, curtains, paints, and cleaners. These things release chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. You can improve your indoor air quality by using fewer or no VOCs around the house. There may also be hidden mold that can be affecting the indoor environment. Testing is the best way to determine if you have a problem. If you are in need of Indoor Air Quality testing service, contact us at: Healthy Home Environmental Services (407) 273-9387

Water hardness is a measure of the amount of dissolved mineral salts in the water. This includes calcium and magnesium, among other things. The hardness of water is usually expressed in grains per gallon (gpg). One way to tell if your water is hard is to look at the plumbing fixtures in your house. If you have an older home, chances are that it has copper pipes and fixtures and there will be a green deposit on them.
