Why Boulder Residents Search for 'Water Quality Testing'
Whether you’re on a private well in Gunbarrel or city water in Central Boulder, knowing what’s in your water is critical. Contaminants like lead, nitrates, arsenic, coliform bacteria, or even PFAS can show up without warning. No smell. No taste. No cloudiness. That’s why water quality testing is one of the smartest steps you can take when buying, renting, or simply keeping your family safe.
Our service gives you peace of mind with certified lab results and clear, practical guidance—not guesswork.

Our Approach
Think of water testing as a health check-up for your home’s most important resource. We follow strict chain-of-custody and timing guidelines to ensure results are valid and trustworthy.

- PFAS/PFOA (on request): Advanced testing for “forever chemicals” if you’re concerned
How Much Does It Cost?
Costs depend on the number and type of tests. A simple potability check is inexpensive, while a full panel with metals and organics costs more. Here’s a rough guide:
| Test Package | Includes | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Potability | Lead, copper, coliform bacteria | $150–$225 |
| Standard Panel | Metals, nitrates/nitrites, coliform & E. coli | $250–$400 |
| Comprehensive Panel | Full metals + PFAS/PFOA (on request) | Custom Quote |
Ask about bundling with a home inspection or other environmental testing for better value and convenience.

How long does water testing take?
Sample collection takes 15–30 minutes. Results typically come back from the lab in 3–5 business days depending on the test panel.
Do I need water testing if I’m on city water?

Our basic panel includes coliform bacteria, nitrate/nitrite, lead, pH, and total dissolved solids. We customize panels based on your needs.
