What’s in Your Water? A Guide to Water Testing

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

Have you ever poured a nice glass of water to drink on a hot day, only to be sickened by some kind of taste or odor that’s unpleasant? This isn’t just a natural part of the water your home is getting. It’s actually due to some contaminant in the water itself. Particles like bacteria or dirt can cause water to lose its deliciously refreshing taste and make it almost sickening to drink.

But going from this reaction to investing in a water purifier or filtration system can be tricky. How do you know which system to invest in? How do you know what specific actions to take for your water? This is where water testing in Appleton comes in.

When we test your water, we’ll tell you exactly what’s in it and contributing to the foul odors, tastes, or consistency. Then, we can recommend the best products to treat your water and make it more usable.

Can an Older Sewer Still Undergo Sewer Cleaning?

Monday, January 9th, 2023

This is an interesting question, and one we’d like to answer in a full blog post. An old sewer is going to be constructed out of different materials from a new one, and it’s likely prone to different problems. However, the answer is still going to be yes. An old sewer system will still benefit tremendously from sewer cleaning in Appleton, WI.

But as you might have guessed, the answer is a bit more complicated than just a simple yes. Older sewers can be dealing with problems that have spanned many years, like the infiltration of tree roots and corrosion, which means that hydrojetting is the least of your worries. But if your sewer seems to be running just fine without leaking anywhere, then it might need cleaning to remove any clogging materials.

Let’s discuss a few things to be aware of when investing in sewer cleaning services.
