Water Quality Sampling
collection and reporting
Starting at $165 + sample cost
Know what's in your well water. This service is designed for homeowners who want a clear understanding of the quality and safety of their private well water.
Source Flow Pump provides professional potable water sample collection for laboratory analysis by California ELAP-accredited laboratories. Choose from a Basic Health Check to an Advanced Water Quality Panel, depending on your property's needs and your level of concern.
Basic testing provides a starting point for identifying common health-related concerns, while advanced testing can evaluate additional contaminants that may be relevant to properties near agricultural land, industrial areas, fuel facilities, septic systems, or areas with known groundwater-quality concerns.
Your well water can look, smell, and taste perfectly normal while containing contaminants you can't see.
Whether you're concerned about your family's drinking water, buying or selling a home, or simply want peace of mind—know your water before you drink it.
