Water Testing Services

Certified water testing for homes and facilities: sample collection, lab analysis, and clear reporting to identify risks, verify treatment, and protect health.

01

Drinking water quality panel (TDS/hardness)

Comprehensive drinking water check measuring TDS, hardness, pH, alkalinity to diagnose scaling, taste issues, and guide proper filtration or softening.

02

Lead & copper testing

Lead and copper sampling for fixtures and service lines with certified analysis; detect corrosion risks, protect health, and meet EPA/local requirements.

03

Bacteria/coliform testing

Routine total coliform and E. coli testing with certified sampling and labs; confirm potability, pinpoint contamination, and guide corrective disinfection.

04

Chlorine/chloramine testing

Measure free and total chlorine or chloramine levels to verify disinfection, protect plumbing and appliances, and optimize carbon filtration performance.

05

PFAS screening (where applicable)

PFAS screening for regulated compounds using certified labs; identify risk, document results for compliance, and recommend effective treatment options.

06

Well water testing (full panel)

Full-panel well testing for minerals, metals, bacteria, and nitrates; baseline your system, track changes over time, and choose treatment tuned to your source.

07

Odor/taste troubleshooting panel

Targeted panel isolates sulfur, iron, chloramines, and organics causing odor or taste; results guide aeration, carbon, or oxidation solutions that work.

08

Post-filter performance testing

Verify filter performance with before-and-after testing for TDS, chlorine, microbes, and metals; confirm removal claims and determine service or media change.

09

Ice machine & beverage line water testing

Testing for ice machines and beverage lines focuses on TDS, chlorine, microbes, and scale potential to protect equipment, flavor, clarity, and food safety.

10

Potable water compliance testing for schools/healthcare

Compliance testing for schools and healthcare: lead, copper, bacteria, and disinfectant levels with chain-of-custody reports that satisfy regulators and audits.

What Is Water Testing?

Water testing evaluates aesthetic and health-related parameters in your drinking or process water. Depending on your source and concerns, we may test metals (lead, copper, iron, manganese), microbiology (total coliform/E. coli), disinfectants (chlorine/chloramine), organics (PFAS screening), and scaling/corrosion factors (hardness, pH, alkalinity, TDS). Correct testing informs the right solution—whether that’s point-of-use filtration, whole-home softening/conditioning, corrosion control, or repairs.

Quick Checklist (What to Do Now)

  • Note what you’re seeing/smelling/tasting (chlorine, sulfur/rotten egg, metallic, earthy).

  • Tell us your water source (municipal vs. well) and recent plumbing changes (new heater, softener, pipes).

  • Collect the first draw of the day in a clean glass to demonstrate the issue (don’t mail this—just for our tech to observe).

  • Avoid DIY chemicals or scented cleaners near taps before sampling.

  • Schedule a sampling visit—we’ll determine the right panels and collection protocol.

Common Problems We Solve

  • Metallic taste / bluish-green stains (possible copper corrosion)

  • Brown/orange staining (iron/manganese)

  • Rotten-egg odor (sulfur or anaerobic bacteria)

  • Hard water scale on fixtures, glass, and appliances

  • Low chlorine (biofilm risk) or high chlorine (taste/odor, dry skin)

  • Lead/copper concerns in older plumbing or after remodels

  • Well water quality (new wells, seasonal shifts, pump/pressure changes)

Why Choose White Glove Plumbing

  • End-to-end help: Testing, interpretation, and the fix (filters, softeners, point-of-use systems, plumbing repairs).

  • Proper sampling & labs: Sterile bottles, preservatives, hold times, and chain-of-custody to certified labs when required.

  • Panels for home & business: Lead/copper, coliform bacteria, chlorine/chloramine, hardness/TDS, pH/alkalinity, iron/manganese, sulfur, PFAS screening (where available).

  • Clear, plain-English report: What the numbers mean and what to do next—no jargon.

Our Water Testing Process (Step-by-Step)

Site Interview & Tap Selection

Identify representative taps (kitchen, bath, outside), usage patterns, and concerns; decide between first-draw, flushed, or post-treatment samples.

Sampling Plan & Protocol

Choose the correct bottles (sterile, acid-washed), preservatives, and field blanks as needed; review hold times and conditions.

Sample Collection

Collect per protocol (no aerators when specified), maintain chain-of-custody, temperature control, and prompt transport.

Lab Analysis / In-Home Screening

Send to a certified laboratory for regulated parameters (lead, copper, coliform, PFAS); use calibrated in-home meters for screening (pH, TDS, hardness, chlorine).

Results Interpretation & Report

Provide a plain-English summary: what’s above guidance levels, likely causes (e.g., corrosion, source water), and risks.

Solution Design & Quote

Recommend treatment (POU/whole-home filtration, softeners/conditioners, UV, RO), maintenance schedules, or plumbing fixes; provide a clear, line-item estimate.

What’s Included

  • Consultation & sampling plan tailored to your water source and concerns

  • Professional sample collection with correct bottles, preservatives, and custody

  • Certified lab analysis for regulated parameters; calibrated on-site screening where appropriate

  • Clear results report with comparisons to recognized guidelines

  • Actionable recommendations (treatment, maintenance, plumbing repairs)

  • Follow-up testing options to verify improvements after installation

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)

  • Turnaround: On-site screening is same-day; certified lab panels typically 2–7 business days, depending on the test.

  • Cost drivers: Number/type of panels (e.g., lead/copper vs. full well panel vs. PFAS), expedited shipping, and follow-up testing.

  • Transparency: You’ll see a line-item quote before sampling and any treatment work.

Insurance & Claims Help

  • Residential testing is generally owner-paid; some commercial/municipal settings require routine testing for compliance.

  • We supply chain-of-custody forms, lab reports, and a summary suitable for property managers, schools, food service, and healthcare environments.

  • If results trigger remediation (e.g., lead above action levels), we’ll outline short-term measures (POU filters, flushing) and long-term fixes.

Risks of Waiting (Why Immediate Action Matters)

  • Health risks (lead, bacteria) may persist unnoticed.

  • Corrosion & leaks accelerate in aggressive water (low pH/alkalinity).

  • Scale buildup reduces heater efficiency and shortens appliance life.

  • Taste/odor complaints frustrate tenants/customers and hurt reviews.

Water Testing Methods, Equipment & Compliance Standards

  • Sampling protocols: First-draw vs. flushed; sterile bottles/preservatives; strict hold times and temperature control.

  • Screening tools: Calibrated meters for pH, TDS, hardness, chlorine/chloramine, iron/manganese colorimetry.

  • Certified labs: Lead/copper, coliform/E. coli, nitrates/nitrites, arsenic, and PFAS screening (where available) via approved methods.

  • Interpretation references: Compares to widely recognized primary/secondary drinking water guidelines and manufacturer specs for equipment.

  • Solution design: POU/whole-home filters (carbon, RO, catalytic media), water softeners/conditioners, UV disinfection, and corrosion-control strategies.

  • Verification: Post-installation performance testing and maintenance schedules (media change-outs, sanitizer cycles).
