We were inspecting a house that had a well for their water.

We told our clients that they needed to have their water tested for toxins, especially LEAD.

Little did they know that the property next door used to be a junk yard.
We have been living in Columbia
since we were born and we were aware
of many areas of Boone County that were dumps.

Since, we knew what used to be next door to the House we were inspecting we told our clients
that they definitely needed to do water tests for these toxic elements:
waste oil
petroleum products
lead
acid from batteries

When you move into a home do you know what water system is used to provide your home
with drinking water?

It is important to be educated on where your water comes from.

How old is the infrastructure that is providing your home with safe drinking water?

There are many stories of families who have been exposed to lead from drinking
water from their water supply in their homes and their children
becoming very sick!

Call your local water service provider to find out:
How your water is treated?
What chemicals they use to treat the water?
How often is it tested?
What types of pipes does your homes water pass through.

 

A Home Inspector can only see the supply piping that comes into your home.

 

So Be In the KNOW! Do not become a victim!

Contact your local water supplier or
the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Public Drinking Water Branch (573-751-5331) or

“Almost immediately after the switch, warning signs began appearing that something was wrong.
Residents began to notice a change in the water’s color, taste and odor.
Many complained of rashes, and concerns were raised to officials about the safety of the water.
In response to the complaints, Flint mayor Dayne Walling and state-appointed emergency manager
Darnell Earley doubled down on their decision and told residents that the water was safe to drink”
