Why Test Your Water

Unexplained changes in taste, smell, or color

Well Water vs. City Water Testing

Well Water

Well water is not monitored by a municipal water supplier, so it is on the homeowner to check for bacteria, iron, and other contaminants. We recommend testing well water at least once a year.

City Water

City water is treated and monitored, but plumbing, fixtures, and local mineral content can still affect taste, hardness, and staining at your tap. Testing tells you if anything past the meter needs addressing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should well water be tested?

At least once a year, and sooner if you notice a change in taste, smell, or color, or after any nearby flooding or construction.

What contaminants does a water test check for?

Our standard test checks hardness, iron and manganese, chlorine and chloramine, pH, sediment, and bacteria for well water.

How long does water testing take?

Testing itself takes just a few minutes on-site. Results depend on what is being tested, some readings are immediate, while bacteria testing may take a couple of days at a lab.

What happens if my water test comes back positive for contaminants?

We will walk you through what was found and recommend the right solution, such as a filtration system or water softener, sized for your specific results. There is no obligation to purchase equipment.

Do you test city water too, or only wells?

Both. City water is treated at the source, but testing at your tap can still catch hardness, staining, or plumbing-related issues that affect your water quality.
