Before winter, take a slow walk around your home. Note where water goes during rain, any new interior stains, and the dates of prior radon or water tests. A photo and date give you a better starting point than a vague worry.

Our October newsletter puts these questions into a simple checklist.

If your home uses a private well, “test the water” can mean different things depending on your concern and the laboratory panel selected. Have there been changes in taste, odor, color or the system?

Are you preparing for a sale, or simply updating your records? Those details help determine what to discuss before sampling.

Call (410) 245-7654 to ask about well-water sampling and the available options.

Our October article is live: “Home Inspection or Separate Test: Which Answers Your Question?” It walks through what a visual inspection can show and when radon, indoor-air or water testing may be worth discussing separately. It is a decision guide, not a diagnosis of a home you have not evaluated.
