Water Testing
Water testing is a critical service for evaluating the safety and quality of a property's drinking water supply. Whether your water comes from a private well or a municipal source, regular testing helps detect harmful contaminants and ensures compliance with health standards. Water quality can affect everything from your health and appliances to the overall value of your property.
Why Water Testing Is Important
Contaminated water can carry bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, and other pollutants that may not be visible, tasteable, or smellable. Routine water testing helps identify these threats early and provides guidance on treatment solutions. Testing is particularly important for homes with wells, properties near agricultural or industrial areas, and buildings with aging infrastructure.
What Water Testing Includes
Comprehensive water testing typically screens for:
- Coliform bacteria, including E. coli
- pH levels and water hardness
- Lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals
- Nitrates and nitrites
- Chlorine and other chemical residues
- Pesticides, herbicides, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
Samples are collected by a trained technician and analyzed at a certified laboratory. Results are provided in a detailed report along with recommendations if contamination is detected.
When to Schedule Water Testing
Water testing is recommended:
- Annually for private wells
- When purchasing or selling a property
- After plumbing upgrades or well repairs
- Following flooding or natural disasters
- If water has an unusual taste, odor, or appearance
Regular testing ensures your water remains safe and your system functions correctly over time.
