Water Testing for Ottawa Hills Homes
Ottawa Hills is on Grand Rapids city water, but the pipes inside a 1920s to 1950s house can change what comes out of the tap. We test hardness, chlorine and chloramine, pH and sediment on site, so you know what a softener or filter would actually fix.

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.

Water Testing Questions from Ottawa Hills
City water is treated at the plant, but older pipes in your house can add sediment or rust, and hardness still causes scale. We test hardness, chlorine and chloramine, pH and sediment on site and explain each result. Testing first means you buy only the equipment you need.
Call us during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and describe what you are seeing. We will explain what the first visit involves and agree a time that works. For larger jobs, we price the work after we have seen it.
Testing itself takes a few minutes on site. Some readings, such as hardness, are immediate. Bacteria testing for wells goes to a lab and may take a couple of days. We tell you which results you get on the day and which come later.
