Quantification of Copper down to 0.1 parts per million (ppm). Copper can be found in drinking water due to corrosion of household plumbing systems, natural deposits, and industrial discharge. Copper exposure can cause gastrointestinal distress, liver or kidney damage. EPA maximum contamination limit is 1.3 (primary) and 1.0 ppm (secondary). Accreditation American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)-Environmental Microbiology Laboratory, ID#: 183867 Tennessee DEC Division of Water Resources, Certified Microbiology Laboratory (ID# 03147).

Quantification of Lead down to 3 parts per billion (ppb). In water, lead is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, and even low levels are considered dangerous to your health. Contamination comes from lead pipes and lead solder in plumbing infrastructure including service lines; changes in water chemistry can cause corrosion, leading to higher levels of lead being released into the water supply. EPA maximum contamination limit is zero; action is recommended for levels exceeding 15 ppb. Key Reasons to Test Drinking Water for Lead:
- Plumbing Infrastructure especially for homes built before 1986 and if pipes corrode.
- Health: lead a toxic and a carcinogen. Even low levels can cause developmental issues in developing babies and children, including cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, and reduced IQ. In adults, long-term exposure may result in kidney damage, high blood pressure, and other serious health conditions.
- Protect Vulnerable Populations. Testing is especially important in households with young children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers, as these groups are at a higher risk of lead poisoning and its long-term effects.
- Peace of Mind knowing your family is protected from the harmful effects of lead.

The Basic Bacteria Test detects Coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli), common bacteria that can pose significant health risks. The Presence/Absence test is an industry standard, as any detection of coliforms or E. coli bacteria in drinking water is considered a health hazard. Consuming water contaminated with these bacteria can lead to recurring gastrointestinal illness, with symptoms such as stomach cramps and diarrhea. Wells and springs can receive contaminants from surrounding land activities or septic systems, and biofilms can become established in plumbing, which is why the EPA recommends annual bacterial testing, as changing conditions can introduce new risks. This test is recommended if:
- You are served by a private well or spring
- This is your daily water source
- Small children, elderly adults, immunocompromised, pregnant, or nursing individuals consume the water.
- After flood events.
- You notice a musty, moldy, or mildew-like smell or taste in the water, or observe biofilm buildup or other microbial growth on faucets and fixtures.

Select this test for semi-quantitative results for Coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Data are reported as Most Probable Number, 95% upper limit, 95% lower limit. Consuming water with these bacteria can result is recurring gastro-intestinal illness, with symptoms such as stomach cramping and diarrhea. Wells and springs can receive contaminants from surrounding land activities or septic systems, and biofilms can become established in plumbing, which is why the EPA recommends annual bacterial testing, as changing conditions can introduce new risks. This test is recommended if:

Ensure the safety and quality of your water with our Basic Water Panel. This comprehensive test detects Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Lead, and the presence of Coliform and E. coli bacteria, making it an essential tool for anyone using a private or shared well, or financing a home purchase through a loan agency. Key Features:
- EPA-Approved Methods: Our water analysis follows EPA-approved methods, ensuring reliable results that meet most mortgage lender requirements, including FHA, VA, and USDA home loans.
- Comprehensive Testing: Detects a range of contaminants:
- Mortgage Loan Compliance: Ideal for those seeking FHA, VA, or USDA home loans. Always consult your mortgage lender about specific testing requirements prior to sampling. In some instances, a licensed third-party sample collector is required.
- Well Water Safety: Perfect for properties served by private or shared wells, especially if there is a septic tank nearby. The EPA recommends annual testing of well water for bacteria, nitrate and nitrite.
- Health Protection: Essential for households with young children or other vulnerable individuals, as well as those concerned about agricultural runoff.
- Filtration System Assessment: Evaluate the effectiveness of your water filtration system.
