What’s lurking in your tap water?
Bacteria, lead, pharmaceuticals, and other toxins can cause health problems and other quality of life issues.
Water testing services from Carroll Plumbing & Heating will provide you with a detailed look at the contaminants in your drinking water.

Improve Your Quality of Life
Hard water can cause issues such as reduced appliance lifespan, bathtub scum, and dry skin. We’ll test for hard water and let you know if that’s the cause of your problems.
Check for VOCs
Do you live near a gas station, buried storage tank, or oil well? There’s an excellent chance that cancer-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are leaching into your drinking water.

Testing will provide you with the satisfying knowledge that your tap water is free from contaminants and safe to drink.

Water Testing Services FAQ
How frequently should I test my drinking water?
We advise that you test your home potable water at least once a year. However, if there has been a recent chemical spill or nearby environmental disaster, it’s advisable to test your water as soon as possible. If you or your partner are expecting, you should test your tap water in the early months of the pregnancy and six months after you bring the baby home.
How can my home water get contaminated?
There is a wide range of ways your home water could become unsafe to drink:
- Sewer overflows
- Tainted soil from businesses that no longer exist
- Nearby proximity to a contaminated natural underground water source
- Naturally-occuring minerals and chemicals (radon, arsenic, uranium)
- Damaged lead pipes
