Water Testing services

Bad water quality can affect your pipes and plumbing fixtures. Our water quality testing will help with the following:

• Pinpointing pipe problems. Aging, deteriorating pipes may cause contaminants to seep into drinking water. If you live in an older home with vintage pipes, water quality testing is wise.
• Minimizing plumbing problems. Mineral and sediment buildup in your pipe is a result of hard water, too. Over time, this buildup restricts water flow, decreases appliance life and leads to frequent plumbing repairs.

If your Minneapolis / Saint Paul home suffers from hard water, you may see limescale on sinks and fixtures or clothing that yellows prematurely.

• Handling hard water: Some hard water problems  cause dull hair and dry or itchy skin. Customized water treatment by our tap water quality specialists can address these issues.
• Conditioned Water: A water test reveals what type of conditioning system can address high mineral content. Conditioned water helps eliminate hard-to-clean limescale on faucets, toilets, sinks and other fixtures. (In rare cases, water may be too soft—which can also be corrected with a conditioning system.)

Our water quality testing delivers peace of mind to homeowners. Some “nuisance” contaminants may not cause health issues, while others could have adverse effects in certain individuals During these checks we look for:

• bacteria
• lead and other metals
• nitrites and nitrates
• chlorine
• pH and
• water hardness
