Lead is the most common water test that we perform.
If there has been a known or suspected exposure to contaminants and the source is unknown, then drinking water sampling can be beneficial.
Water Testing Process
Every project is unique. We begin each project by listening to our client’s concerns and discussing possible options and strategize the most cost-effective way to determine the extent of the potential contamination. We would collect water samples from the plumbing where the drinking water for the property is located.
Water Testing Process
We would collect water samples from the plumbing where the drinking water outlets for the family are located. These areas are commonly the kitchen and refrigerator, bathroom sinks, outside water fountain, if present.
We use special sterilized bottles to collect each sample. These bottles are shipped FedEx to a licensed environmental laboratory for analysis.
Industry standard practice dictates that levels of contaminants be below any established PELs (permissible exposure limits) set by the EPA.
If laboratory results yield elevated levels of any particular contaminant, then either installing some sort of filtration system or re-plumbing the property should be considered.
After remediation has been performed, American Air Testing can provide further testing to confirm that no further contamination exists.
