FAQs
Why is in-home water testing important for Grandview residents?
Grandview’s water travels through aging municipal lines and private plumbing before it reaches your tap. Along the way it can pick up dissolved minerals, chlorine by-products, heavy metals, or bacterial contaminants. An in-home test pinpoints what is actually coming out of your fixtures, allowing us to recommend targeted treatment options instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.
What contaminants do you check for during a standard water quality test?
Our basic panel measures hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, chlorine/chloramine, iron, manganese, and sulfur. We also screen for health-related contaminants such as lead, copper, nitrates/nitrites, and coliform or E. coli bacteria. If you have a private well, we can add arsenic, pesticides, and VOC testing for a small lab fee.
How does the in-home testing process work?
1. Schedule a convenient 30- to 45-minute appointment. 2. A licensed plumbing technician collects samples from your kitchen sink, outside spigot, and (if applicable) well tap. 3. Instant field meters give on-the-spot readings for hardness, pH, TDS, and chlorine. 4. Samples requiring microbiological or heavy-metal analysis are sealed and delivered to a state-certified laboratory. 5. Within 3–5 business days you receive a written report and a no-pressure consultation on treatment options.
How long will it take to receive my results and recommendations?
You’ll know the basics—hardness, TDS, iron, and chlorine levels—before we leave your driveway. Full lab results and a detailed action plan are emailed or hand-delivered within five business days. If we detect an urgent health concern such as E. coli or lead above EPA action levels, we call you the moment the lab notifies us, usually within 24 hours.
What types of water purification systems can you install if issues are found?
We carry and install whole-house carbon filtration for taste and odor, water softeners for hardness, under-sink or whole-home reverse osmosis for dissolved solids and heavy metals, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection for bacteria, and point-of-entry sediment filters for wells. Every system is sized to your home’s flow rate and water chemistry, ensuring maximum efficiency and lifespan.
How often should I have my home’s water retested?
For city water, we recommend retesting every 12–18 months or any time you notice taste, odor, or staining changes. Well owners should test annually for bacteria and nitrates and perform a full panel every three years. You should also retest after plumbing repairs, new appliance installations, or major neighborhood construction that could disturb water lines.
