Add Radon Testing
Radon, a radioactive gas, is a significant concern in New Hampshire's water and air, often found in bedrock and well water. It's odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Proper testing is crucial to determine its presence, especially if radon levels in your home's air are high.
Testing diagnosis ensures the correct filtration solution.
Many harmful contaminants are undetectable to our eyes, nose and taste buds. You can only know your current water quality and what is in your drinking water through testing in a state accredited lab.
