Water Quality Testing
Comprehensive water quality analysis to ensure your family's water is safe from harmful substances and contaminants.
Book NowWhat We Test
Our water quality analysis tests for a wide range of substances that could pose health risks if they exceed safe levels.
Water Sources We Test
Water Wells
Full water quality analysis including bacteria (E. Coli) and contamination testing.
Tap Water
Testing of city water from inside the home for contaminants and mineral levels.
Pools & Spas
Chemical balance and quality testing for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs.
Note: Bacteria (E. Coli/contamination) testing is available for wells only, not city water systems.
How It Works
Water samples are collected from your requested sources and tested on-site. Results are delivered same-day and documented in your inspection report, so you know exactly what's in your water.
Why Water Quality Testing Is Important at Every Property Type
Whether you are buying a home served by municipal water or a private well, knowing the quality of your drinking water before closing is essential. Municipal water meets federal standards at the treatment plant — but it can pick up lead, copper, and bacteria from aging service lines and home plumbing on the way to your tap.
- Pre-1986 homes may have lead solder in copper plumbing — invisible and untested without sampling
- Private wells require testing for bacteria, nitrates, and local agricultural or industrial contaminants
- New construction may have elevated copper and sediment from new piping
- Post-flooding or post-freeze properties may have bacterial contamination
- Homes with softeners or filtration systems benefit from pre- and post-treatment testing
Noble water quality tests are sent to state-certified laboratories. Results include a complete interpretation guide comparing measured levels against EPA maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for each parameter. Remediation recommendations are included where levels exceed safe thresholds.

What Our Water Quality Tests Screen For
Municipal water supplies are treated, but they can still carry contaminants from aging pipes, service line materials, or local industrial activity. Well water carries additional risks from bacteria, mineral leaching, and agricultural runoff. Our water quality tests screen for the contaminants most relevant to your property type and location.
Standard Panel
- Total coliform and E. coli bacteria
- Lead and copper
- Nitrates and nitrites
- pH, hardness, and turbidity
- Chlorine and chloramines
Extended Panel (Well Water)
- Iron, manganese, and sulfur
- Arsenic and fluoride
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
- Pesticide and herbicide screening
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
Samples are sent to a state-certified laboratory. Results are delivered within 5–7 business days with a full interpretation guide identifying which readings exceed EPA safe drinking water standards.
Water quality testing is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to any home or well & septic inspection.
