HGAR Breakfast with Benefits

For HGAR’s Breakfast with Benefits Webinar on April 7 – “What’s REALLY in your Water” – Beckerich shared eye-opening information on the looming PFAS disaster; what the real estate industry should know about environmental testing options for PFAS; and, the potential consequences PFAS testing will have on the home sales because of stringent new state and federal regulations.

“The widespread national media and local community coverage on the dangers of forever chemicals are quickly becoming an issue for realtors,” said Beckerich. “Buyers and sellers have to account for not only the cost associated with remediation and water filtration to ensure private wells are safe, but also account for the potential health impact on their family and friends.”

The call-to-action was for realtors and their partners (home inspectors, well drillers, water treatment companies) to partner with York Analytical to get expert water testing quickly from a professional local laboratory that specializes in PFAS testing.
