Clean, safe drinking water is essential for your family’s health. Whether you’re buying a home or already own one, water testing is the only way to know what’s actually in your water.
At Sonic Home Inspections, we provide professional water quality testing for homes throughout Westchester County NY, Putnam County NY, and Fairfield County CT, helping buyers and homeowners make informed decisions with confidence.
Many water contaminants are invisible, odorless, and tasteless. Even water that looks clear can contain harmful substances.
Professional water testing helps identify:
Bacteria (E. coli, coliform)
Nitrates and nitrites
Lead and heavy metals
pH imbalance and corrosive water
Other common contaminants
Without proper testing, these issues can go unnoticed and pose serious health risks, especially for children and pregnant women.
Water testing is strongly recommended for:
Homes with private wells
Older homes with aging plumbing
First-time home buyers
Homes that have been vacant
Properties with previous water quality concerns
If a home uses a private well, water quality testing is often required by lenders and is critical for buyer protection.
Our water quality testing services typically include testing for:
💧 Bacteria Testing
Total coliform
E. coli
🧪 Chemical & Mineral Testing
Nitrates / nitrites
pH levels
Hardness
Iron and manganese
⚠️ Heavy Metals (when applicable)

All samples are collected following proper procedures and sent to a certified laboratory for accurate analysis.
