Our Water Quality and Potability Testing ensures that the water in your home is safe for drinking. Our comprehensive testing includes checking Water Turbidity, which measures the clarity of your water. Additionally, we conduct Water Lead Testing to detect harmful lead levels and Water Bacteria Testing to identify any harmful microorganisms. Safeguard your health and enjoy peace of mind with our thorough water analysis services.
Our Water Quality and Potability Testing checks turbidity, lead, and bacteria to ensure your home’s drinking water is safe.
Water is essential for life, 70% of the human body is water and different parts and organs of the body have varying, but significant water content; for example the heart is 73% water, the brain is 75% water, the muscles are 75% water, and the bones are 22% water. At NextDay Inspect, we test for the presence, absence, and the most likely number of bacteria coliforms and E.coli.

The quality of the water we drink has a profound and direct effect on the health of our body and mind. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), The United States has one of the world’s safest water supplies. Even though public drinking water, in general, is safe, water contamination can still occur.
Consuming contaminated water can lead to mild to severe and even life-threatening health complications. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may be especially at risk for illness.
The EPA sets standards and regulations for the presence and levels of over 90 contaminants in public drinking water, including E.coli, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, Metals such as lead, and disinfection byproducts.
There are many possible sources of contamination, including:
Turbidity is the clarity of the water, and it is an important factor in water quality.
The presence of foreign objects, organic or non-organic, in the water can affect its turbidity (clarity).
Some of these particles are harmless to the human, and others can cause serious discomfort or illness. Excessive turbidity in drinking water in addition to being aesthetically unappealing, these particles can present a health concern.
Turbidity can be a source of food and shelter for pathogens. High turbidity can promote pathogens’ growth and can harbor bacteria and viruses, leading to waterborne diseases upon consumption of this contaminated water.
In general, a water with a pH less than 7 is considered acidic and with a pH higher than 7 is considered basic. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5 and for groundwater systems 6 to 8.5.
Water with a low pH (less than 6.5) could be acidic, soft, and corrosive. Therefore, the water could leach metal ions such as iron, manganese, copper, lead, and zinc from the aquifer, plumbing fixtures, and piping. Water with a low pH could:
A water with a pH > 8.5 could indicate that the water is hard. Hard water does not pose a health risk, but can cause aesthetic problems.
These problems include:
Water discoloration happens when non-water elements are present in the suspension. A turbidity test will check for what level of foreign objects are in your water, which is the likely cause of a lowered clarity. If your water also has a sulfurous smell or taste, this can be an indicator that your water has bacterial growth. The best way to confirm presence of bacteria is to test it.
Several factors can affect water portability. Homes built before 1986 may have lead pipes or fixtures, risking lead contamination. Bacterial presence is another concern, often indicated by unusual smells, tastes, or discoloration in water, though testing may not be necessary without these signs. Additionally, testing turbidity can help assess water clarity and drinkability, as high turbidity can harm health and create an environment for bacterial or viral growth.
