Water Testing
Professional Water Testing Services
Clean-looking water isn't always contaminant-free. MoldTec LLC provides professional water testing for homeowners, property owners, businesses, and real estate professionals who want a clearer understanding of their water quality.
Whether your property uses a private well or municipal water supply, professional laboratory testing can identify potential water-quality concerns that aren't always detectable by sight, smell, or taste.
Our goal is simple: provide accurate, independent testing so you can make informed decisions about your property and water supply.
Typical Water Quality Testing: $499 per sample location
Pricing may vary depending on the property, testing requirements, sampling locations, and contaminants being analyzed.
What Does Water Testing Check For?
The contaminants included in your water analysis depend on your water source, property, concerns, and selected testing panel. Professional water testing may evaluate your water for:
- Coliform and E. coli bacteria
- Lead and other heavy metals
- Nitrates and nitrites
- Arsenic
- Iron and manganese
- pH levels
- Minerals
- Other potential chemical or environmental contaminants
Before samples are collected, MoldTec can help determine the appropriate testing approach based on your property and reason for testing.
Know What’s in Your Water
Water can contain contaminants that aren’t always visible, noticeable, or easy to identify. Professional water testing can provide valuable information about your water quality and help you determine the right next steps.
Who Should Consider Professional Water Testing?
Water testing can be valuable for both residential and commercial properties. You may want to have your water tested if you:
- Own a home with a private well
- Are buying or selling a property
- Notice changes in water color, taste, or odor
- Have concerns about older plumbing or pipes
- Recently experienced flooding or water intrusion
- Suspect bacterial or environmental contamination
- Have not had your private well tested recently
- Want to verify the quality of your household water
- Need water-quality information before considering filtration or treatment
Some contaminants don't create an obvious change in the appearance, smell, or taste of water. Laboratory testing provides information that visual observation alone cannot.
Understand the Quality of the Water Coming Into Your Property
Private Well Water Testing
Private well owners are responsible for monitoring the quality of their own water supply. Unlike a municipal system, a private well serves an individual property and may be affected by groundwater conditions, the well itself, nearby environmental conditions, flooding, septic systems, or other sources of contamination.
MoldTec provides professional well water sampling and laboratory testing to help property owners identify potential bacterial, chemical, mineral, and other water-quality concerns.
Testing can be particularly important after flooding, changes to the property or well, noticeable changes in the water, or when purchasing a home that relies on a private well.
Our Water Testing Process
Stage 1: Water System Assessment & Sample Planning
Step one
We conduct a thorough visual inspection of your property, identifying visible mold growth, water damage signs, and high-risk areas. We utilize professional moisture detection equipment to locate hidden water sources and assess conditions that promote mold growth.
Stage 2: Water Sampling & Laboratory Analysis
Step two
Water samples are collected from multiple sources, including wells, taps, and distribution points, using sterile collection methods. All samples are analyzed by certified laboratories for comprehensive contamination screening, including bacteria, chemicals, and heavy metals.
Stage 3: Results Review & Treatment Planning
Step three
We’ll walk you through the water quality results in detail, identifying any contamination issues and associated health risks. He provides specific recommendations for water treatment systems, filtration solutions, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe water quality.
FAQs
How do I know if I should have my water tested?
Consider testing if you use private well water, notice an unusual taste, odor, color, or cloudiness, have experienced flooding, are purchasing a property, have concerns about older plumbing, or simply want more information about your water quality.
Can water look clean and still contain contaminants?
Yes. Some contaminants may not noticeably change the appearance, taste, or smell of water. Laboratory analysis is needed to identify many potential contaminants.
Do you test private well water?
Yes. MoldTec provides private well water sampling and testing for homeowners and property owners.
Can you test municipal or city water?
Yes. Testing water from the tap can provide information about the water reaching and moving through an individual property.
What can you test water for?
Testing can include bacteria, metals, minerals, pH, nitrates, arsenic, and other potential contaminants. The appropriate analysis depends on your property, water source, and specific concerns.
How long does water testing take?
Turnaround depends on the laboratory analysis being performed. MoldTec can provide an expected timeframe based on the testing ordered.
Do you provide water treatment or filtration systems?
No. MoldTec specializes in testing rather than selling water-treatment systems. If testing identifies an issue, we can explain the results and help you determine appropriate next steps.
Can you test water after flooding or a sewage backup?
Yes. If flooding, sewage, or another contamination event has occurred, contact MoldTec so we can determine which type of water and/or bacteria testing is appropriate for the situation.
Can you test water during a real estate transaction?
Yes. Water testing can provide buyers, sellers, and property professionals with objective information about a property's water quality, particularly for homes using private wells.
