What We Test For

A technician tests your water at the tap, in your kitchen, and shows you each result as it comes up. It takes about twenty minutes.

Scale

Hardness

Calcium and magnesium in grains per gallon, the cause of scale, spots and dry skin.

Taste & odor

Chlorine

The disinfectant your utility adds. It drives the pool smell, dry skin and the byproducts that form in the pipes.

Stains

Iron

Orange and brown stains in sinks, toilets and laundry. Common in North Carolina wells.

Corrosion

pH

Low pH eats at copper pipes and fixtures; high pH speeds up scale.

Dissolved solids

TDS

Total dissolved solids, a quick read on how much is dissolved in your water overall.

Wells

Smell & sediment

Rotten-egg smell, cloudiness or grit. We find out whether it is the water, the water heater or the drain.

Some contaminants, including lead, PFAS, bacteria and arsenic, need a certified laboratory. We tell you when a lab test is worth it and where to get one. For wells, our guide to testing your well in NC covers the state and county programs.

We test homes across the Triangle, including Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest and Chapel Hill, plus Charlotte and Wilmington. See all service areas.

Common Questions

Is the water test really free?

Yes. The in-home test costs nothing and comes with no obligation to buy.

What does the free water test check?

Hardness, chlorine, iron, pH and total dissolved solids, measured at your tap in about twenty minutes. On wells we also check smell and sediment to find their source.

Do you test for lead, PFAS or bacteria?

Not in the free visit. Those need a certified laboratory. We tell you when a lab test makes sense and where to send a sample, and our reverse osmosis systems are built to remove lead and PFAS if your results call for it.

How long does the visit take?

The test itself takes about twenty minutes. Allow a little longer if you want to talk through results and options.

Where do you offer free water testing?

Across the Raleigh-Durham Triangle, Charlotte and Wilmington. Call (984) 206-3774 to check your address.
