What's in my water?

Turbidity and sediment can hide bacteria risk or point to plumbing issues. A certified lab can tell you what is in the cloud.

Hydrogen sulfide and sulfur bacteria cause the smell. Test before you buy a filter that only masks it.

Lead usually comes from plumbing, not the source. A first-draw sample at a certified lab is the right start.

Coliform bacteria in a private well is a health signal. Use a certified lab and follow its hold-time rules.

Nitrate matters for infants and pregnant people. Wells near agriculture should test nitrate at a certified lab.

PFAS needs a certified panel, not a general metals package. Confirm PFAS scope with the lab before you sample.

Chlorine taste is common in city water. Test if smell or taste persists, or if you need baseline metals after treatment.
