The Residential Water Quality Analysis is a non-laboratory screening service designed to provide homeowners and prospective buyers with an overview of the water quality at the time of inspection. Using professional field screening methods, the assessment screens for common water quality parameters, including hardness, pH, alkalinity, carbonate, chlorine, nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, iron, lead, copper, mercury, chromium (VI), and other selected constituents. During the water quality analysis, we screen for 16 parameters If the property has a well, we will test for bacteria. Your inspector will use testing strips from the requested source of water and provide results the same day.

Results are interpreted and summarized in a written report identifying any elevated screening values, their potential effects on household water use, and recommended next steps when appropriate. This assessment is intended to identify potential water quality concerns and provide practical guidance; It is not a substitute for certified laboratory analysis or a determination that the water is safe or unsafe for consumption. When screening results indicate elevated constituents, bacterial contamination is suspected, or a comprehensive analysis is desired, follow-up evaluation by a qualified well contractor, water treatment professional, or certified environmental laboratory may be recommended. This assessment represents the condition of the water at the time and location sampled. Water quality can vary over time, after repairs, and between fixtures. Results should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future water quality.
