Drinking Water Testing

Drinking water testing helps evaluate the quality of water used for drinking, cooking, and household use. Laboratory analysis can identify contaminants that may affect water safety and overall water quality.

Water contamination can occur from a variety of sources, including plumbing materials, environmental pollutants, or natural mineral deposits. Professional water testing helps determine whether contaminants may be present in drinking water.

5 Microns Inc. provides professional drinking water testing services for residential and commercial properties.

What Drinking Water Testing Can Detect

Laboratory testing may evaluate drinking water for a variety of potential contaminants.

Common drinking water tests may include:

  • bacteria contamination
  • heavy metals such as lead
  • nitrates and nitrites
  • volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • mineral content affecting water quality

The specific testing panel may vary depending on the concerns being investigated.

Why Drinking Water Testing Is Important

Water contamination is often not visible and may not produce noticeable taste or odor changes.

Testing may be recommended when:

  • unusual taste or odor is present in water
  • discoloration is observed
  • plumbing materials may contain lead
  • properties rely on private wells
  • occupants have concerns about water quality

Laboratory testing helps determine whether drinking water may contain contaminants.
