Drinking Water Testing

Our Potability Package or Conventional Package is designed to help homeowners determine the composition and safety of their well water. This essential testing allows us to evaluate:

• Total Coliform/E. Coli: Indicators of potential contamination that could affect human health.
• Nitrates: High levels can indicate agricultural runoff, posing health risks, particularly for infants.
• Sand: Presence can indicate filtration issues, affecting water quality.
• Turbidity: Measures cloudiness, which can affect disinfection processes and indicate contamination.
• pH: Indicates acidity or alkalinity, essential for maintaining proper water chemistry.

Additionally, we offer various specialized packages, including:

• Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Affairs (FHA & VA) Loans: Comprehensive assessments to meet lending requirements.
• Water Treatment Assessment Package: Identifies common water quality issues, including iron, hardness, and dissolved solids.
• Customized Individual Packages: Tailored testing based on specific needs and concerns.

Wastewater Testing

We provide extensive testing of wastewater samples throughout the treatment process, evaluating both chemical and biological constituents. Our timely analyses cover a range of parameters, including:

• BODs, CBODs, CODs: Indicators of organic matter and wastewater strength.
• TSS and TDS: Measure suspended and dissolved solids, crucial for treatment efficiency.
• Nutrients: Ammonia, nitrates, and alkalinity levels, essential for process control.

Our customized wastewater packages align with discharge permits and performance requirements, ensuring compliance and effective treatment.

Microbiological Testing

Our microbiological services include quantifying various bacteria to assess water safety, including:

• Total Bacterial Count
• E. coli
