Water Testing

The quality of your home’s water impacts your health, plumbing, and appliances. Even if your water looks clear, it may contain contaminants like bacteria, heavy metals, or excessive minerals that can affect taste and safety. At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we offer professional water testing services to identify issues and recommend the best filtration or treatment solutions for your home. Whether you rely on city water or a private well, testing your water regularly is essential for long-term health and plumbing protection.

Why You Should Have Your Home’s Water Tested

Many homeowners assume their water is safe because it comes from a municipal source, but even treated water can contain impurities. Chlorine, lead, pesticides, and bacteria may be present in your water supply without you realizing it. Water testing helps identify these potential hazards, ensuring that your family is drinking and using the safest water possible.

Hard water is another common issue, particularly in Sacramento. High levels of calcium and magnesium can cause scale buildup in pipes, reducing water pressure and damaging appliances like water heaters and dishwashers. If your home has hard water, a water softener can help protect your plumbing and improve efficiency.

Testing is especially important if you have a well, as private water sources are not regulated like municipal water supplies. Well water can be affected by agricultural runoff, septic system leaks, or underground contaminants. At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we provide accurate water testing and expert recommendations to improve your home’s water quality with the right treatment solutions.

How Often Should You Test Your Home’s Water?

Routine water testing ensures that your home’s water remains safe and free from contaminants. If you rely on city water, testing every one to two years is generally recommended, especially if you’ve noticed changes in taste, odor, or color. However, if your home has older pipes, frequent plumbing issues, or a history of contamination, more frequent testing may be necessary.

For well water users, annual testing is essential. Because well water is not monitored by local utilities, it can become contaminated with bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals without warning. If you experience flooding, construction near your well, or plumbing system changes, additional testing should be done immediately.

At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we provide professional water testing services to help homeowners understand what’s in their water and recommend the best solutions. Whether you need filtration, water softening, or purification, our experts will ensure your home’s water is safe and clean.
