Why Test Your Water?

Water may look clean, but it can still contain unwanted pollutants that may harm your plumbing, appliances, and impact the quality of the water you drink. Some of the most common water problems we see include:

  • Hard water (high levels of calcium and magnesium)
  • Iron stains on sinks, tubs, and laundry
  • Slime residue from iron bacteria or manganese bacteria
  • Acidic water that can damage pipes
  • Foul odors, like a musty or rotten egg smell
  • Chlorine taste or chemical smells
  • Sediment or cloudy water
  • Bacteria and other invisible contaminants (especially in well water)

These issues can affect your health, your home, and your peace of mind. Regular home water testing helps you catch problems early and find the best solution.

Our Free Michigan Water Testing Service and What’s Included

Our free water test is quick, simple, and done by trained professionals. We’ll come to your home and test for:

  • Hardness
  • Iron levels
  • pH level
  • Chlorine levels
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

If you’re using a private well, we also offer lab well water testing in Michigan for a fee. This allows you to check for bacteria, nitrates, PFAS, arsenic, lead, and more. This is especially important if your home has older plumbing or your water supply hasn’t been tested in a while. The EPA recommends testing your well annually.

Our team can help you maintain quality drinking water with extensive, customizable laboratory testing. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!

When Should You Get Your Water Tested?

Water testing in Michigan is important for everyone, but especially if you:

  • Use a private well
  • Notice staining, smells, funny tastes, or scale buildup
  • Notice common hard water issues like soap scum, spotty dishes, stiff laundry, or dry skin after showering
  • Recently moved into a new home
  • Your home was built before 1986
  • Experience unexplained illness, especially stomach upset

Water Testing FAQs

  • Private well owners should have their water tested at least once a year for bacteria, nitrates, and other common contaminants. If you use city water, testing every one to two years is a good way to monitor changes in water quality.

    You should also schedule water testing if your water changes in taste, smell, color, or clarity. Other times testing is wise include:

    • After heavy rains or flooding
    • When local contamination concerns arise
    • When there is nearby construction
    • After work is done on your well system
    • When there is new industrial or agricultural activity in your area
    • After water main work, if you rely on municipal water
