Free in home water testing in Austin
Before anyone sells you a filter, you should know what's actually in your water. That's what the free test is for.
We pass your request to a local water treatment installer. They call to set a time, test water from your tap, and walk you through what the numbers mean. If your water's fine, you should hear that.
Price
Free
No charge and no obligation. A quick screen at your tap, not a full lab test.
What the test checks
The in home test covers the things that drive most treatment decisions around Austin. It's a quick screen at the tap, not a lab test for every contaminant, and it doesn't certify your water as safe.
- Hardness, which causes scale and spots
- Chlorine or chloramine, the disinfectant your utility adds
- Total dissolved solids, a measure of everything dissolved in the water
- For well water: a certified lab test is the route for things like bacteria that can't be checked on site
How the visit goes
Send a request and the installer calls you to set a time that works. At the visit they test at the kitchen sink, look at where your main line comes in, and ask a few questions about what's bugging you.
Then they compare your results with your utility's water quality report. You get a written quote for any system they recommend. There's no pressure to buy, and the test is free either way.
In home test vs lab test
The in home test is quick and covers the basics most homeowners care about. It doesn't replace a certified lab test for things like lead, bacteria, or specific chemicals.
If you're on a private well or have a specific concern, a certified lab is the right next step. Texas keeps a list of accredited labs, and some county health offices offer testing too.

Common questions
Is the water test really free?
Yes. There's no charge for the in home test and no obligation to buy anything. It's how you figure out what, if anything, your home needs.
How long does it take?
Your installer can tell you when they call to set a time. It includes going over the results and answering your questions.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, since the test is done at an inside tap and the installer walks you through the results in person.
Can you test for lead?
Lead needs a certified lab test to be reliable. The in home test doesn't cover it. Your utility's water quality report also includes lead sampling results for its system.
