FAQs
Why should I schedule an in-home water analysis if I live in Estill Springs?
Even though Estill Springs is served by a regulated municipal water system and many rural homes rely on private wells, local water can still contain hardness minerals, chlorine by-products, iron, sulfur, and agricultural run-off. An in-home analysis pinpoints the exact quality of the water coming out of your taps—not just what’s in the main supply—so we can recommend the most effective filtration or conditioning solution for your household’s specific needs.
What does the water analysis test for?
Our standard test panel measures pH, total hardness (calcium + magnesium), total dissolved solids (TDS), iron, manganese, chlorine/chloramines, sulfur (hydrogen sulfide), and turbidity. If you’re on a well, we can also screen for bacteria, nitrates/nitrites, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We tailor the test package to your water source and any concerns you mention during scheduling.
How is the sample collected and how long does the analysis take?
A certified water technician comes to your home and draws cold-water samples from the kitchen tap and, when relevant, from well or outdoor spigots. Most field tests—pH, hardness, TDS, iron, chlorine—are performed on site and take about 30 minutes. If lab work is requested (bacteria, VOCs, metals), samples are sealed and transported to a state-accredited laboratory; those results are typically returned within 3–5 business days.
Will I receive a written report and explanation of the results?
Yes. Before we leave, you’ll get a preliminary summary of the on-site findings. Within 24 hours (or after lab results come back), we email a detailed, easy-to-read report that explains each parameter, the EPA or Tennessee guideline for that parameter, and whether your water is within acceptable ranges. We then review the report with you—by phone, video, or in person—to answer questions and discuss treatment options, if needed.
What water treatment options do you offer if issues are found?
We carry and install NSF-certified equipment including whole-house carbon filters for chlorine and taste/odor removal, water softeners for hardness minerals, iron/sulfur filtration units, reverse-osmosis (RO) systems for drinking water, and UV or chlorination packages for bacterial control. All systems are sized to your home’s flow rate and water chemistry, and we handle everything—installation, programming, and ongoing maintenance.
How much does the water analysis and any recommended purification system cost?
A basic in-home test is free within our Estill Springs service area. Lab-based add-ons range from $30 for a single bacteria test to about $150 for a full well screening panel. Treatment system pricing varies with capacity and technology: point-of-use RO units start around $400 installed; whole-house softeners average $1,200–$1,800; and multi-stage filtration packages for iron, sulfur, and sediment typically run $1,800–$3,000. All quotes are provided upfront, and we offer financing and maintenance plans to fit most budgets.
