Not all testing methods are equal.

Suburban Water Testing Laboratories, Inc. has been providing analysis of drinking water to individuals and homeowners since 1963.

Our methods are those approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.  (EPA)

Outstanding service and quality have made us a nationally recognized laboratory. We have been listed as a testing resource by many periodicals such as Reader's Digest, Consumer Reports, Popular Science, and many, many more.

Here is why so many people have put their trust in us:


Accurate Results

Our Quality Assurance Program is very intense, and we adhere to very strict procedures in every aspect of our analysis. Our goal is to make sure we're precise and complete in every test, every time!

We employ calibration curves, spikes, duplicates, internal audits, blind performance testing and other internal Quality Control. All of our analyses are traceable to the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST).

In simple language this means...
• We Maintain a high criteria for ongoing calibration of our equipment.
• We run duplicate tests from different specimens of the same sample.
• We run quality checks on specimens with added, measured contaminants to make sure that the results come out to match what we know we've put in.
• And we continue to find ways to do more.

Additionally, we report our findings to the customer in a way that is both relevant and easy-to-understand.


Reliability

Our EPA approved methods require laboratory equipment such as Gas Chromatographs, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers, Ion Chromatographs, High Pressure Liquid Chromatographs, and more in order to perform analysis of a wide range of contaminants. 

Well trained laboratory technicians perform the analyses and verify the results.

In-home testing cannot begin to provide results with a comparable level of accuracy and reliability.


Technical Assistance without Conflict of Interest.

Suburban Water Testing Labs, Inc. is ONLY in the business of testing drinking water.

We don't sell water treatment equipment, so we have nothing to gain by reporting problems in your water.

If your report indicates a water quality problem, our experienced Technical Assistance personnel are available to provide practical recommendations for correcting any areas of concern.

We don't suggest "brand names." We simply give you the information you need to confidently shop around for the best deals in water treatment equipment. If a "home remedy" will handle the problem, we explain that as well.


Safety

While certain in-home test procedures exist, water testing is best done in a laboratory.

Microbiology requires culturing of microorganisms.  Other tests require the use of harsh chemicals.  This can be dangerous.

We have the proper facility, expertise, and equipment to perform these analyses in a safe manner. 

Why attempt to perform them at home?
