From our customer reviews.
I recently had a water/well test done by NextDay Inspect, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire process.

View on Angi What turbidity measures
Turbidity is a measure of water clarity. The test measures how particles in the sample scatter light. It records a characteristic of the water rather than identifying every particle or its source.
02
Suspended particles
Particles scatter light and can affect the turbidity measurement, even when individual particles are hard to see.
03
A focused result
Use the result alongside your water-source information and any other tests requested for the property.
Cloudy-looking water can also contain tiny air bubbles. Appearance alone does not identify the cause. Turbidity does not replace bacteria or chemical testing and is separate from total dissolved solids.

Starting from $325 standalone or $275 with a home inspection. Additional tests or sample locations can change the quote; we confirm the scope before booking.
Can you collect a sample at my La Plata property?
Yes. Send the full property address, water source and any filters or treatment equipment. We confirm access, sampling instructions and the available collection date before the visit.
Is turbidity the same as total dissolved solids?
No. Turbidity concerns clarity and light scattered by particles. Total dissolved solids concerns dissolved material and is part of the separate water quality panel.
Does a clear result rule out bacteria or lead?
No. Turbidity is a focused measurement of clarity. Bacteria, lead, nitrate and nitrite require their own tests.
Can air bubbles make water look cloudy?
Yes. Tiny air bubbles can change the appearance of water. Tell us whether it clears after standing; the appearance alone does not identify the cause.
Is turbidity included in the FHA/VA loan kit?
Yes. Our FHA/VA loan water kit includes turbidity along with bacteria, lead, nitrate, nitrite and iron. Send your lender’s instructions so we can check the complete request.
