Clean water is essential in your everyday life and for your family’s health. Poor water quality can negatively affect your home’s plumbing, water-using appliances, laundry, dishes, and more. Water quality can be impacted by many factors, including aging infrastructure, the environment, and local geological conditions. Whether you rely on a public water system or a private well, water testing is your first line of defense.
What Can Happen When Water Quality Is Poor?
Damage to Your Home & Appliances
- Hard water damages appliances and plumbing
- White scale build-up on fixtures
- Acidic water corrosion of pipes and plumbing components
- Staining on fixtures and laundry from various contaminants
- Negative effects on water taste and smell
- Spotting on dishes and soap scum on glass
Potability Concerns
- Bacteria and viruses in water
- Naturally occurring arsenic and radon
- Lead in water from old plumbing
- Other potential contaminants found in New England

We can also tailor your package based on your specific water needs or concerns. Rest assured, every testing service delivers dependable results and accurate insights about your water quality.
When Is Laboratory Water Testing Necessary?
Water from a private well usually requires more extensive testing than town/city water. If you depend on a well for your drinking water, it’s wise to have it tested even if it looks clear and tastes fine. Many dangerous contaminants, like chemicals and bacteria, can be difficult, if not impossible, to detect without testing. The EPA recommends yearly testing for private wells.
If you’re selling your home, you may have to order a well water test to ensure potability. Your bank, town’s Board of Health, or a home inspector might dictate what must be tested for. Our professionals at H2O Care can assist in determining which testing package is right for you.
Signs It’s Time to Schedule a Water Test
Sometimes, it’s fairly easy to tell when your water supply is contaminated. If you notice any of the following issues in your home, they are good indicators that you should order a water test (even if you rely on public water):

- Bad odors or tastes
- Water leaves behind residue or staining on dishes, tubs, showers, toilets, fixtures, or laundry
