Our Testing Services

Bacteriological Testing – Testing for total coliform and E. coli bacteria. Regular testing helps ensure your water is safe to drink.
Chemical Contaminant Analysis – A full panel including parameters such as arsenic, uranium, lead, nitrate/nitrite, fluoride and more.
Individual Parameter Testing – For specific concerns (e.g., hardness, pH, iron, manganese) when you want to monitor a particular chemical or issue.
Surface Water Testing – If you draw from a lake or river, we provide testing suited for surface water sources (bacteria more frequently, full chemical panel annually).
Follow-up and Monitoring – After treatment systems are installed, we offer periodic testing to verify performance and ongoing water safety.

Why Test Your Water?

More than 40% of households in Nova Scotia rely on private wells or surface sources for drinking water. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} You cannot tell if water is safe by taste, colour or smell — testing is the only way to confirm.

It is recommended that for well water you:

Test for bacteria every six months. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Test for chemical contaminants every two years (or more frequently if you have changes in your system).

Understanding what’s in your water helps protect your health, your plumbing system, and the value of your property.
