Microorganisms can be present in water for several reasons, including agricultural runoff and recent heavy rainfall. Many times, these microbes do not cause a noticeable change in your water’s color, taste, or smell, but they can pose serious health risks. Bacteria like E. coli and coliforms can cause gastrointestinal issues when consumed in large amounts or over an extended period. Because of these risks, it is important to test for any presence in your water and take appropriate action.

This occurs due to high levels of calcium and magnesium. You may notice the telltale signs of mineral buildup around your water appliances or dry skin and hair after showering. Over time, the buildup from hard water can cause your plumbing and appliances to become less efficient and shorten their lifespans. Our tests measure mineral levels to determine if water treatment is needed.

Chlorine is present in all municipal water sources as a disinfectant and is not to exceed the limit set by the EPA. However, there are times when water supplies do exceed this limit. Apart from chlorine, chemicals from various sources, like industrial runoff, often make their way into water supplies. By testing for chemical contaminants like fluoride, PFAS, nitrates, and nitrites, we can identify concerning levels and provide appropriate treatment solutions.

Metals like lead, copper, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury can cause health concerns when consumed over a long period of time. These elements enter water supplies due to sources such as industrial waste and corroding pipes. Identifying heavy metal issues in your water helps determine what type of water filtration system to install and get your water back to being safe.

pH and alkalinity levels play a pivotal role in the safety and taste profile of drinking water. High alkalinity levels interfere with maintaining a stable pH. In turn, when pH becomes too acidic, it can cause several issues, such as scaling on water appliances, pipe corrosion, and an unpleasant taste. Testing these levels determines the necessary treatments.
