Professional Water Testing for Bacteria, Nitrates, Lead & More

When you’re buying a home with a private well — or if it’s been a while since your last test — it’s critical to make sure the water is clean and safe to drink. At Advanced Water Pump Services, we offer thorough, lab-backed water testing services to detect potential health hazards and identify issues before they become costly problems.

Whether it’s for peace of mind, a real estate transaction, or regular maintenance, water testing is a smart investment in your home and your health.

What We Test For

We provide testing for the most common — and important — water contaminants found in private wells and rural water systems:

• Coliform & E. coli Bacteria
  These are indicators of potential contamination from surface water, animals, or septic systems. Presence of these bacteria means your water is not safe to drinkuntil treated.
• Nitrates
  Common in agricultural areas, high nitrate levels can be dangerous — especially for infants and pregnant women — and may signal fertilizer or septic leaching into the water supply.
• Lead & Heavy Metals
  Lead can leach from old plumbing, fittings, or even the ground itself. Even small amounts can be toxic, especially for children. We can also test for arsenic, iron, manganese, and more, depending on your location and concerns.
• pH and Hardness Levels
  These factors affect water quality, appliance lifespan, and how effective filtration or treatment systems will be.
• Tannins, Sulfur, and Other Aesthetics
  Unpleasant tastes, odors, or staining? We can check for naturally occurring organics or dissolved gases that might be behind it.
• Other Contaminants 
  It’s amazing just how many items can be tested for in water. If you have something specific in mind that isn’t listed, it’s likely able to be tested for. Reach out to talk about other tests available.

Why Water Testing Matters

• 🏡 Buying a Home?
  A clean water test is often required for escrow — but more importantly, it helps you avoid nasty surprises after the purchase. We help buyers make confident, informed decisions.
• 💧 Owning a Well?
  Even if your water looks and tastes fine, contaminants can still be present. Routine testing helps catch issues early and extends the life of your equipment.
• 👶 Protecting Your Family
  Children, infants, and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to waterborne contaminants. Testing helps ensure your water is truly safe.
