Clean and safe water is essential whether it’s for your home, business, or agricultural operation. If you are wondering about how safe your water is to drink, or how soft it is for use, then you’ve come to the right place. We offer professional water testing services to ensure your water quality meets your needs. Serving Vancouver, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and the entire Lower Mainland, we provide accurate, reliable results to give you peace of mind.

Comprehensive Water Testing Solutions

The quality of the water you receive matters. While we are blessed with soft water in Vancouver and its surrounding areas, testing for contaminants can be necessary. Depending on where you get your water supply from, it may also be necessary to test it for hardness.

The Canadian Water Quality Association recommends that anyone on private or community water systems have their water tested every 6 months.

Understanding the quality of your water is crucial for your health, appliances, and overall water system efficiency. Our water testing services cover a wide range of concerns, including:

Water Quality Analysis:

Illness is one of the first things that we think of when we think of contaminated water.  Pollutants in water can also lead to the corrosion of pipes, and damage to water-dependent appliances. 

Water quality Analysis identifies organic and inorganic contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, iron, or other harmful substances. Older homes may also want to have their water tested for lead. 

Well Water Testing:

If you get your water supply from a well, getting it tested periodically is crucial, especially if it is located near an area with agricultural or industrial activity as the runoff can contaminate well water. 

We test your well water for E.coli, arsenic and a whole host of other organic and inorganic contaminants to keep you safe from waterborne illnesses.

Hard Water Testing:

Hard water can play havoc with your appliances as it leaves a deposit of salt and minerals. It’s also bad for your skin and hair. Our hard water tests determine mineral levels such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause scaling, reduce appliance efficiency, damage plumbing and your health.

pH and Chemical Testing:

The pH level of your water affects everything from taste to its effect on your plumbing system. Water that’s too acidic can corrode pipes, while overly alkaline water may leave mineral deposits. Chemical testing also identifies chlorine, pesticides, or other contaminants that could harm your health or damage appliances. We offer pH and chemical testing for a wide range of contaminants along with comprehensive water treatment services.

Irrigation Water Testing:

Highly saline water or water that contains heavy metals, or pollutants can stunt plant growth and contaminate your soil degrading its quality over time. Crops are prone to absorbing contaminants as well which can in turn affect the health of those who consume them. Irrigation water should ideally be tested at least once a year. We offer irrigation water testing with comprehensive lab reports. 

The Importance of Water Testing

Regular water testing is critical to ensuring your water system is safe and efficient:

• Protect Your Health: Poor water quality can lead to illnesses or long-term health risks. Water testing ensures harmful bacteria and contaminants are identified and addressed.
• Preserve Your Equipment: Hard water, sediment, and chemical imbalances can damage pumps, appliances, and plumbing systems over time. Testing helps extend the life of your equipment.
• Comply with Regulations: For commercial and agricultural applications, water testing ensures compliance with local health and safety standards.
