Water Testing

At John Cameron & Son Well Drilling Inc., we offer a range of water testing services tailored to meet your specific needs. Our comprehensive testing process includes the following steps:

1. Sample Collection
Our water testing process begins with the careful collection of water samples from various points in your water system. This includes samples from the well, storage tanks, and different taps throughout your property. Proper sample collection is critical for obtaining accurate and representative results.

​

2. Laboratory Analysis
Once collected, the water samples are sent to a certified laboratory for thorough analysis. Our laboratories use advanced testing methods and equipment to detect a wide range of contaminants, including:

• Bacteria: Testing for coliform bacteria, E. coli, and other harmful microorganisms.

• Minerals and Metals: Analyzing levels of iron, manganese, lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals.

• Chemicals and Pesticides: Detecting the presence of chemicals, pesticides, and other hazardous substances.

• Nitrates and Nitrites: Measuring concentrations of nitrates and nitrites, which can be harmful, especially to infants and pregnant women.

• pH Levels: Assessing the acidity or alkalinity of your water, which can affect taste and corrosion of plumbing systems.

• Hardness: Determining the hardness of your water, which can impact soap efficiency and cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances.

3. Comprehensive Reporting
After the laboratory analysis is complete, we provide you with a detailed report of the findings. This report includes:

• Contaminant Levels: Clear information on the levels of detected contaminants compared to safety standards.

• Potential Health Risks: Explanation of any potential health risks associated with the contaminants found.

• Recommendations: Practical advice on addressing any identified issues, including treatment options and preventative measures.

4. Expert Consultation
We understand that interpreting water test results can be challenging. Our team of experts is available to discuss the findings with you, answer any questions, and provide guidance on the best course of action to ensure your water is safe and clean.
