Water quality testing
Find out what is actually in the water before anything gets installed.
What it is
Water quality testing on the Cape
We pull a proper sample and give you written results, then specify from them. A good deal of Barnstable County draws from private wells, and well chemistry varies street to street, so a neighbour’s system is not a guide to yours.
What is included
What the work covers
- Sampling and laboratory analysis
- Iron, manganese and hardness
- pH and corrosivity
- Sodium and chloride where salt intrusion is a concern
- Written results with a plain-language recommendation
When to call
Signs you need this
- Orange, brown or black staining in sinks, tubs and laundry
- A metallic, sulphurous or salty taste
- Scale on fixtures and inside kettles
- Soap that will not lather, or spotting on glassware
- Buying a house on a private well, or a well that has not been tested in years
