Water Testing for Your Home

What Can I Expect From My Free Water Test?

Your free water test includes an on-site check for:

  • Hardness
  • pH
  • Total dissolved solids (TDS)
  • Chlorine

Note: Specialized laboratory testing is available for an additional fee based on current PA-accredited lab rates.

If you need testing for things like PFAS, arsenic, radon, lead, or iron, EPA Water can collect a sample directly from your home and deliver it to a PA-accredited laboratory. There's no need to search for a third-party lab - we handle the entire process and will follow up with your detailed results along with a customized water treatment plan.

How Does a Water Test Work?

Here’s how our water testing process works, from the on-site visit to optional lab testing when you need more detail.

01

We come to your home

An EPA Water Consultants technician visits your house and tests the water where you use it - no drop-off sample required for the free check.

02

On-site free water test

We run an on-site test for hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and chlorine, then walk through what those readings mean for your home.

03

Additional lab testing if needed*

If you need parameters like PFAS, arsenic, radon, lead, or iron, we collect a sample at your home and deliver it to a PA-accredited lab.

04

Results and recommendations

We follow up with your detailed results and customized water treatment suggestions based on what your water actually needs - nothing more.

* Specialized lab testing is an additional fee based on current lab rates.

Water Testing FAQs

Common questions about our free testing process - answered honestly.

What if additional water testing is required after the free test?

If testing is needed for additional or health-related parameters, such as PFAS, arsenic, radon, lead, iron, and similar concerns, EPA Water will take the home water sample to a PA accredited lab. You will not need to find a third-party lab yourself. Note that this will require an additional fee.

Once results are back, we’ll reach out with the findings and suggestions so you understand what they mean for your home. This type of lab testing is at an additional cost based on the PA accredited lab’s pricing.

Do I need to be home for my free water test?

Our water tests require an in-home visit so we can test on-site, assess your system right then and there, and use professional-grade equipment where it matters. Because of that, we like customers to be present, so we can walk through hardness, pH, iron, sulfur, contaminants, taste, and odor results in plain language while we’re still at your home.

Tell us whether you’re on city water or a private well when you schedule, and we’ll set up the appointment that fits your situation.

What does EPA Water Consultants test for?

We come into your home and run an on-site water test for hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and chlorine. We review those readings with you in plain language so you understand what they mean for your water and the best recommendation for treatment.

If you need additional parameters beyond the on-site test, specialized lab testing is available.

How long does an in-home water test usually take?

Phone consultations for city water typically take 15–20 minutes. In-home well water tests usually take 30–45 minutes, depending on your system, plumbing layout, and the concerns you want addressed.

During an in-home visit we assess the water on-site, review results with you in plain language, and leave you with a clear understanding of what we found.

Will you pressure me to buy a water system?

No. We value safety above all else and pride ourselves on honest assessments with zero sales pressure. If your water is fine, we’ll tell you. If treatment makes sense, we explain why, show you options, and share the best recommendation for your water - with no hidden costs and no pressure to buy.

You’ll understand exactly what’s in your water and what we recommend, if anything. The decision is yours: act right away, take time to think, or ask for references from other customers.

What happens after I get my water test results?

We’ll present your findings, explain what they mean for your home and family in plain language, and discuss options if a water treatment system would help. Once results are back - including any PA accredited lab findings when additional testing was needed - we can diagnose your water and recommend next steps based on the actual chemistry, not a sales script.

You can act right away, take time to think, or ask for references from other customers. There’s no hidden cost and no pressure to buy - it’s your choice.
