Water Testing Lab and Diagnostic Center 

At Delmarva Water Solutions, our laboratory water tests, which start as low as $60, make understanding your water quality easy and transparent. To find out what’s in your water, pick up a sterile container and drop off a raw water sample directly at our regional laboratory. You can also contact us to schedule an on-site water sample collection at your home or business.

Shortly after we receive your sample (usually within 2 business days), you’ll be emailed a report of what’s in your water (bacteria present/absent, hardness, nitrates, pH, tds, iron, copper). You’ll also get a call from one of our water consultants who will go over these results with you. By understanding your results, you’ll be able to make an informed, confident decision on the exact water filtration technology required to keep your household safe. Take the first step towards enjoying the cleanest possible water throughout your home by scheduling a water test today!

Water Testing for Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia Property Owners

When you bring your sample to our full-service laboratory, you won’t get a generic sales pitch. Instead, you’ll be presented with solutions custom-tailored to your property’s unique well or municipal water profile. Our thorough water analysis is guaranteed to be accurate, backed by professional state certifications for sampling and testing. Having clean, verified water is the first step toward long-term peace of mind and family health.

Why Professional Laboratory Testing is the Best Choice

Our scientific water testing stands in stark contrast to the basic DIY home kits found at local hardware stores. Retail strip tests are severely limited in the types of primary contaminants and microbiological bacteria they can detect. By placing your sample in our full-service lab, you ensure your water is thoroughly analyzed by specially trained technicians using cutting-edge equipment.

Need Even More Detail? An In-House Water Sampler Can Assist

Our in-house lab tests for the “presence or absence” of bacteria. It also tests for iron, hardness, pH, TDS, and everything else an in-home test would be able to identify. If you would like a more in-depth bacteria test, or if it’s for a real estate transaction, the sample needs to be performed by one of our in-house water samplers.

Certified Real Estate Transfer Testing in 2 Business Days

We also specialize in certified water testing for Delmarva real estate transactions, ensuring local home sales meet strict county health department mandates. Mortgage approvals and property transfers in our region typically require a certified potability panel, including:

  • Aesthetic Parameters: Hard water testing, iron fouling, and pH testing.
  • Health-Related Primary Contaminants: Lead testing, bacteria testing (coliform and E. coli), nitrates/nitrites testing, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), MTBE testing, and radon testing.

The Process from Water Testing to Clean Water

Harmful impurities lurking in shallow aquifers or aging infrastructure can cause obvious warning signs like foul odors, discolored water, a metallic taste, or plumbing stains. However, severe health risks like lead, nitrates, and PFAS in water are completely invisible, tasteless, and odorless.

To ensure your home is fully protected, we guide you through a simple, four-step diagnostic and remediation process.

  • Step 1: Sample Collection 

    Getting started is simple. You can either pick up a sterile container and drop off a raw water sample directly at our regional laboratory, or contact us to schedule a convenient, on-site collection at your home or business.

  • Step 2: Certified Lab Analysis:

    Once your sample arrives at our facility, our trained technicians put it through a rigorous diagnostic screening. We use advanced equipment to build a comprehensive report detailing both aesthetic nuisances and health-related primary contaminants.

  • Step 3: Custom Treatment Design:

    We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all filtration. Our specialists map out your unique water profile and match the data to the precise media or membrane technology needed to solve your specific issues, recommending only what you need.

  • Step 4: Professional Implementation & Validation: 

    Our licensed technicians install your custom system to factory specifications. To ensure total peace of mind, we back our work with a complimentary follow-up performance check and our signature 1-year full money-back guarantee.

Schedule Your Water Test Today

While many local contractors claim to provide accurate water testing, those tests are often performed by sales personnel using uncalibrated field kits. When you entrust Delmarva Water Solutions with your health, you can rest easy knowing a certified technician is managing your sample.

Our intensive testing methods, advanced diagnostic equipment, and knowledgeable personnel follow rigorous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. If there are health hazards or structural threats in your water, we will accurately gauge the potability of your supply and provide you with an invaluable, data-backed water quality shield.
