Water Testing for Grand Rapids Homes

West Michigan water is hard, and that applies across Grand Rapids, from Creston to Alger Heights. A hardness and iron reading at your tap shows whether scale, staining or taste problems come from the supply or from aging pipes. We explain each number.

How the Job Works

Step 1: Collect the sample

We take water from the right tap or well connection so the sample shows what you actually drink and use.

Step 2: Test on site

We test hardness, iron and manganese, chlorine and chloramine, pH and sediment levels.

Step 3: Send bacteria samples

For wells, we collect a sample for bacteria testing. Lab results can take a couple of days.

Step 4: Explain the results

We tell you what the numbers mean and whether a softener, a filter or nothing is the right answer.
