FAQs
Why is regular water testing important in Maynardville?
Maynardvilleâs water can be affected by naturally occurring minerals, agricultural runoff, aging plumbing, and seasonal rainfall. Regular testing detects harmful contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals, and nitrates before they reach unsafe levels. Early detection protects your familyâs health, prevents appliance damage, and keeps your plumbing system in compliance with state guidelines.
What contaminants do you test for in Maynardville's water supply?
Our standard panel screens for total coliform and E. coli bacteria, lead, copper, iron, manganese, arsenic, nitrates/nitrites, hardness, pH, chlorides, sulfates, and total dissolved solids (TDS). We also offer optional testing for pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and PFAS âforever chemicalsâ if your property is near agricultural or industrial areas.
How quickly will I receive my water test results and what do they include?
Basic bacteria and mineral tests are completed in 2â3 business days; expanded panels require 5â7 business days. Youâll receive a digital and printed report that explains each parameter, its concentration, the EPA/State of Tennessee guideline, and whether your water passes or fails. We also provide clear next-step recommendations if any contaminant exceeds safe limits.
What water purification options do you offer if my test shows contamination?
We tailor solutions to the specific contaminants found. Options include point-of-entry sediment and carbon filters, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, NSF-certified lead removal cartridges, UV disinfection for bacteria, water softeners for hardness, and whole-house chemical injection systems for iron or sulfur. Our licensed plumbers handle design, installation, and ongoing maintenance so your system stays effective.
How often should well owners in Maynardville test their water?
The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation recommends annual testing for private wells. However, you should test immediately after heavy rains, flooding, plumbing work, or if you notice changes in taste, odor, or color. Homes with infants, pregnant women, or immunocompromised residents may benefit from semi-annual testing for added safety.
Are your water testing and purification services compliant with local and state regulations?
Yes. Our laboratory partners are certified by the Tennessee Department of Health and follow EPA Method 200.8 and Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. All purification systems we install meet NSF/ANSI certification standards, and our licensed plumbers pull the required Maynardville/Union County permits to ensure full regulatory compliance.
