Real Estate Services
Residential, Commercial & Cottages
Many people dream of owning a home in the country, an idyllic getaway from the rigours of city life and a place to hang your hat in the summertime and enjoy your downtime. There are many factors to consider when purchasing your out-of-town homestead, not the least of which is water supply. Your water supply system is the heartbeat of your home, delivering your most important resource to where it needs to be. As a homebuyer, you have a right to request a professional evaluation of the water supply system, testing for portability, efficiency, and wear. When you need such an evaluation, don’t hesitate to call the expert team at The Water Guys North. Residential water is our passion, and we are determined to ensure that every resident of the Sudbury basin has free access to clean and efficient water. We will ensure you have the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. Below are the various services we can provide as you undertake the purchase of your new home or cottage.
Water Treatment Consultation
Water treatment consulting is a process to determine your specific water treatment needs and how to fulfill them. We are passionate about improving residential water. We want to ensure that your water is clean, free of any impurities or pollutants, and with the appropriate levels of the minerals that define our groundwater here in the north. Our team of experts will thoroughly evaluate your water infrastructure and make recommendations based on current industry best practices.
Water Supply Consultation
We can evaluate your water supply, whether you get your water from a municipal reserve, well or lake.
Well Inspection
The Water Guys North are Ministry of Environment (MoE) licensed in Well Construction and Pump Installation, and we are the experts in good inspection in the region. We will inspect your well for any signs of disrepair or apparent damage and recommend replacement parts or next steps should you need to replace the well entirely.
Water Source Identification
Unless you have intimate knowledge of a property, it can be if not easy to discern where exactly your water is coming from at first glance. If your property is on a lake, the water may come from the lake itself, a well, or a reservoir nearby. Trust our team of experts at Water Guys North to find the source of your home’s water and to ensure that it gets from that point to your home in the most efficient manner possible.
Testing Pumping Rates
If your new property relies on well water, you’ll want to ensure you fully understand the technology that gets the water from the well to your home. Pumps and pump fixtures can wear out over time, and a pump replacement can be inconvenient, time-consuming and expensive. Before you sign on the dotted line, call the Water Guys North to evaluate your pumping infrastructure comprehensively. By testing pumping rates, we can discern if your pump is in proper working order and make recommendations for the seller to follow before the sale.
Written Water Analysis Report
We can undertake an evaluation of your water quality and help you interpret the results of the written assessment.
Treatment Education
You can use many different techniques to purify the water in your home. Whether it’s UV treatment, chlorination, ion exchange filtration, reverse osmosis or a simple mechanical filter, we can walk you through the pros and cons and help you discern the correct solution based on your home’s water infrastructure. We can advise on potential equipment upgrades you can implement to improve efficiency, taste and clarity.
Alternative Options
The Water Guys North are knowledgeable regarding traditional water-sourcing, such as fresh surface water or groundwater. Still, we also have insight into alternative water sources, depending on your unique situation. We can consult on harvested rainwater, captured condensate, reclaimed wastewater or greywater and more. Give us a call, and we can help source the right solution for you.
Complete Supply & Treatment Assessment
Purchasing a new home is an expensive and stressful undertaking. There are so many factors to consider that it is inevitable that something could slip through the cracks. You do not want your water infrastructure to be the thing that falls by the wayside. As the buyer, you can insist on a total water supply and treatment assessment as a condition of the sale. We would be honoured to conduct such an assessment and support you through the process of buying your new home or cottage. Give our team of experts a call and allow us to show you how passionate we are about providing your family with the clean, clear, and efficient water you deserve.
