Thank you for your interest in National Testing Laboratories.
Analysis turnaround times are an estimate and may vary due to laboratory volume and other factors. At the current time, sample volumes are higher than normal, and reporting is taking longer than our stated estimates. Although some testing may take a few weeks, we are happy to provide preliminary results and/or updates at any time. We are striving daily to improve the process and will make every effort to process your sample as quickly as possible.

"Easy process. Instructions were very simple to understand. Testing was comprehensive. Explanation of the test results with regards to standards was helpful."
"Getting our well water testing completed was very important to us. The process provided by NTL was quick and easy to understand. The water quality report was very clear and understandable. The cost to ship the sample overnight was pricey but given the importance of the water report, I would gladly pay the cost again."
"We have confidence in the testing results confirmed but with more in depth testing at a reduced price. I had an inquiry about my results and each representative gave professional, prompt feedback by phone. Rated above excellent!"
The CityCheck Basic testing package was developed for homeowners who are concerned about the water quality they are getting from their municipal supply.

This package is for anyone interested in regularly monitoring their well water quality or if you are trying to determine if a filtration or softening system is needed.
This is an excellent package for anyone who has never tested their well water or who has not tested in several years and are concerned about potential pesticide contamination.

Private wells are primarily unregulated (although a few states are beginning to regulate), so it is up to the homeowner to make sure the water coming from their well is safe for consumption. While most wells are only required to be tested when they are originally dug or a house is sold, the EPA recommends homeowners test their well yearly to make sure they meet potability standards. Further testing for other EPA Primary concerns should also be done on a bi-annual basis to rule out any outside contamination.
Public water suppliers (city water) are responsible for testing the water quality as it leaves the water treatment facility. But this treated water runs through potentially miles of pipes throughout the distribution system - some of which may contain lead and copper, not to mention many systems are very old and thus starting to develop cracks which could potentially expose this water to other contamination.
According to the EPA, Lead can enter drinking water through corrosion of plumbing materials, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder. However, new homes are also at risk: even legally "lead-free" plumbing may contain up to eight percent lead.
The pursuit of new energy resources to replace our dependence on foreign oil is quickly becoming the 21st century natural gas gold rush. In the race to find new resources, have we potentially endangered another one of our natural resources? Homeowners across the country are becoming more aware of the affects of gas well drilling and the potential contamination issues relating to their private well water. Do you know what's in your water?
