Choose testing for your home.
Whether you want a routine water check, have questions about previous results, or have noticed a change in your water, start by telling us what you want to understand.
Share any existing reports and details about filters, softeners, or other treatment equipment. Your testing scope will identify the selected parameters and sampling locations.
Routine homeowner testing
Ask about Total Coliform, E. coli, nitrate, and nitrite testing, with additional parameters selected for your property and concerns.
Water appearance and household concerns
Tell us about brown or cloudy water, staining, unusual taste, odors, or mineral buildup. We can discuss relevant testing options without assuming the cause.
Selected metals and minerals
Ask about lead, copper, iron, manganese, hardness, and selected mineral testing. Availability and sampling instructions depend on the analysis requested.
Water treatment questions
Sampling before treatment, after treatment, or at both locations can be arranged when appropriate for the purpose of your testing.
Understand the type of results you receive.
Laboratory analysis
Samples submitted for laboratory analysis produce a laboratory report identifying the parameters tested and the reported results.
Collection requirements and turnaround depend on the selected analysis.
Informational field measurements
Selected measurements may be performed at the property, such as pH, temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, or chlorine.
These measurements are documented separately and identified as field results. They are not a certified laboratory report.
From your first question to your report.
- Tell us about your property. Send the address, water concerns, treatment equipment details, and any previous reports.
- Confirm the scope. We confirm testing options, sampling instructions, pricing, and appointment availability.
- Arrange access. Operating plumbing and access to the selected sampling location are required.
- Receive your documentation. Keep your laboratory reports and field results for reference and future comparisons.
Common homeowner questions
Which water tests should I order?
Start with the reason for testing. Share your concerns, previous findings, and treatment equipment details. We confirm available testing options and the selected panel before scheduling.
Is this service for private well water?
Yes. This page focuses on residential private well water. If your home uses another water source, identify it when contacting us so we can confirm whether we can help.
Can you identify the cause of discolored water from a photo?
A photo can document the appearance, but it does not establish the cause. Testing and, in some cases, evaluation of the well, plumbing, or treatment equipment may be needed.
Do I need to prepare before sampling?
Preparation depends on the tests selected. Some analyses require specific collection conditions. Follow the instructions provided for your appointment before changing normal water use or treatment settings.
Can I use homeowner screening for a mortgage closing?
Do not assume homeowner screening meets mortgage requirements. Tell us about the loan before scheduling and provide the lender’s written conditions so we can confirm the appropriate service and documentation.
How much does testing cost?
Pricing depends on your address, selected tests, number of sampling locations, and collection requirements. We confirm the price before service.
Does a passing report guarantee all of my water is safe?
Results apply only to the sample and parameters tested. They do not evaluate every possible contaminant or guarantee future water quality.

Laboratory analysis and informational field measurements are identified separately. Results reflect the sample, collection conditions, and parameters tested. Water testing does not certify well construction, pump condition, or future water quality.
