MGB Inspection Services performs the following additional tests:

    Water quality testing:

       Well water, if untested and untreated, can contain:

• Bacteria, which can cause illness.
• Radon, which can cause cancer over a long period of time.
• Sulfates, which can cause unpleasant odors and foul your water heater.
• Sediment, which can foul shower heads, toilet flush controls and faucets.
• Low Ph (acid) which will corrode copper plumbing lines, cause systematic failure imminent replacement of the entire supply side system.

We offer water testing for the following four groups of contaminants in any combination:

• Bacteria
• Chemical
• Lead
• Radon

• Drain field Dye walk-over test -

This is a rather crude and very basic test, but if you suspect a drain filed that is failed and no longer perking, this test may confirm the condition.  Water is run for thirty minutes from two high volume locations.  At the fifteen minute mark dye is introduced into the system.  If the drain filed is in total failure due to reach its saturation point, the dye will flag where sewage is rising to the surface.  This test will only manifest a major failure and does not offer a lot of assurance regarding heavy use of a system that is close to failure.
