Water Testing for Kentwood Homes

West Michigan water is hard, and Kentwood homes from Breton Downs to East Paris see scale on fixtures and heaters. Testing before you buy a softener or filter means you pay for the right equipment. We test on site and explain what the numbers mean.

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.
