“Honestly, I went into this as a skeptic because we’ve been through so many shady water testing services. When I got my Tap Score report it was beautiful though, and the conversation I had with your staff was informative and SO so helpful. You probably saved us from spending a fortune on a Reverse Osmosis treatment we didn’t need… and I learned about chloramines! Thank you John and Casey!”

How fast do I get results?
You'll get results for most test panels in 3-5 business days after your samples arrive at the laboratory. Some tests can take longer. You can see estimated turnaround times (TAT) for all your orders inside your account and on each test kit's product page. Although rare, delayed results sometimes occur due to holidays, or particular issues with a sample or an instrument.
Is your laboratory certified?
Yes. If you have very specific FOA / compliance requirements though, please tell us in advance of your order so we can guide you to the appropriate options. There are literally thousands of nuances to laboratory certification and we will help you choose what you want if you have questions.
Testing 101
Why test my drinking water?
We spend thousands of dollars a year performing maintenance on our homes, but how often do we think about the health and safety of our drinking water? There are multiple reasons now may be a good time.
Reasons to test your drinking water
Changes in Color or Odor
There are many reasons your water may be yellow, brown or smell like rotten or sulfur. Some of those reasons are safe, others not so much, but there is only one way to find out.
Before Installing a Filtration System
Before spending thousands on water treatment, ask yourself what are're actually treating. Understanding what's in your water can narrow your choices and save you money in the long run.
Local Water Quality Concerns
Everything's from natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, wildfires) to municipal mismanagement can allow contaminants to creep into your water supply. And local governments are not always quick to be transparent.
Old Plumbing or Infrastructure
The age of our homes and pipes have a heavy impact on our water quality. Drinking water traveling through old pipes can pickup lead, copper and bacteria along the way.

Family Health & Safety
Contaminants in our drinking water can cause everything from chronic illness to pregnancy complications and often exist without visible evidence. Testing is the only way to provide peace of mind.
