Water Testing

Water Quality 

icons-water-lgGranite Inspection Group is dedicated to helping people get peace of mind about their drinking water by providing quality water testing information and analytical services. We take the time to consult with our clients to determine the proper testing protocol and recommendation to determine the actual quality of their water.

Major storms and other types of incidents can be highly disruptive for water systems. If you suspect that your water supply is unsafe to drink, or you are having serious nuisance problems such as rust and hard water you can have your water tested for specific contaminants of concern.

 Private Well Water

Do you have municipal or well water?  When was the last time you tested your well water.  Well water can change and should be tested periodically to ensure that the quality has not changed.  Most pollutants in water you cannot taste, smell or see.  The water appears to be clear and clean but, may be tainted with harmful pollutants or impurities that you may be sensitive to.  Most water chemistry is natural and sometimes manmade pollutants enter your supply which allows for sudden changes.  If your health has changed you should test your water again to ensure it is not contributing to your health issues.  Periodic testing is strongly recommended.

Town Mandated Water Test for East Fishkill, Fishkill and Wappingers Falls Town Ships?

If you have a private well at your residence and it is located within the East Fishkill,  Fishkill and Wappingers Falls townships,   it is required by the town and the town law to have a test performed prior to the buying and/or selling a property.  The person(s) responsible for the test may vary, so please confirm with the local municipalities for direction.  For your convenience  and for more information in reference to this matter, the official website for Dutchess County Government

For testing results by township or not sure if your location has been tested or when it was last tested please feel to to visit the appropriate Dutchess County Government by township website for additional information, click on the link below:

Ground Water & Drinking Water

Storm and Emergency Preparedness. Major storms and other types of incidents can be highly disruptive for water systems. Learn what water consumers can do to protect their water and what utility operators can do to protect their drinking water and waste water systems. Continue reading ground water & drinking water.

Drinking Water Contaminants

Basic Information about Drinking Water Contaminants. National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs or primary standards) are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems. Primary standards protect public health by limiting the levels of contaminants in drinking water. Continue reading drinking water contaminants.

 Drinking Water

Lead can enter drinking water through corrosion of plumbing materials, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder. However, new homes are also at risk: even legally “lead-free” plumbing may contain up to eight percent lead. Continue reading lead in drinking water.

Testimonials

Michael answered all of my questions. The installation was successful and was completed in a professional manner. I am very satisfied with the radon system!

Ann D. Schwinger   

Michael is very professional, and knows what he is talking about. He takes the time to explain things in layman's terms so you understand the situation. He is the brains, and the brawn in the organization. Not only did he inspect our system, and provide a repair estimate, he was the person who showed up to do the dirty work. He also worked with me to let me do some of the demo myself in order to save costs.

I will use Michael for any inspection or radon needs going forward.

David Snider   

Granite Inspection group team member"Lisa" provided great customer service from the very beginning of scheduling our Inspection appointment. She was a pleasure to speak to, very informative and caring about our needs and schedule availability. She scheduled us with Michael Christophides "Inspector" who also provided great inspection services for the purchase of our first home. He was on time for our appointment, very patient and informative and took his time to explain all repair recommendation findings. Granite Inspection group made our inspection process a great experience!! We will definitely, recommend their services to our family and friends.

Pamela Santana

Artie Ferraro   

Lisa and Michael are wonderful! Lisa was great at providing information about the service and what we needed to do to get started- she even stayed late to make sure we were able to touch base with each other. Michael arrived for the appointment- he was very knowledgeable and explained in full detail how the system would help us, how it would be set up, and was very interested in our input. We had such a great experience with this group and would highly recommend them! Have your home tested!

KERRY DICKAN   

When we first learned that we might have radon in our home we were scared. We asked around and researched many different companies and finally decided to contact the Granite Inspection Group. From the beginning when we were just looking for information through the entire process they took the time to answer our questions. They were knowledgeable and understanding of our particular situation. They didn't try to "sell us" instead they were real down to earth people who genuinely wanted to educate and support us.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in doing what it takes to keep their family safe.

Aubree F.   

Mike goes above and beyond to make sure that he provides the best service for his clients. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and explains his findings very clearly. I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for a home inspector.

Christopher Torres   

Michael came over after a tornado sent a pine tree crashing through my roof. Michael came over and explained the testing process and what needed to be done to maximize the testing results. Once the roof was repaired. Michael suggested ways to minimize the possibility of water penetrating the building which I completed prior to testing. Michael completed testing and we the favorable report shortly after.

I highly recommend Granite Inspection Group for the thorough inspection, testing and education. Michael, thanks for all the advice and pearls of wisdom.

Louis Cordero   

This is the third time I used Granite Inspection Group. I could not be happier with them. They’re very knowledgeable and always go above and beyond.

I highly recommend them. I would give 10 stars if I could.
