You call or send a message, and we book a time Monday to Friday. Our technician arrives, draws water from your tap and runs the test right there. You watch the results come up. Then they sit down with you, explain what the results mean and lay out your options.
Most water problems show signs before anyone tests for them: spots, stains, smells or a water heater that wears out early. A test puts a name to the cause. Ours is a basic test, done on site, and it is not lab-certified. It is the first step before we suggest any system.
You do not need a known problem to ask for a test. These are the most common reasons Valley homeowners call us to come out.
To book a free in-home water test, call us Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Call (540) 830-7963

Smith Specialized Water SolutionsAbout half of Rockingham County residents rely on private wells, according to Virginia Cooperative Extension, and no utility tests a private well for you. The Valley's limestone tends to make water hard. A Virginia Tech study of Rockingham County well water found iron and manganese, hardness, dissolved solids and bacteria were the main problems.
Homes in Harrisonburg, Dayton and Bridgewater are often on a public water system. That water is treated to meet safety standards, but it can still be hard or taste of chlorine. Homes in the countryside around those towns often use wells. Either way, a test tells you what you are working with.

Pure Water Pure Air offers a free basic water test in your home. One of our team comes out from our Linville shop, tests your water on site and explains the results. It is not lab-certified. For bacteria or lead, use a certified lab or a Virginia Cooperative Extension clinic.
Send a sample to a certified lab. Bacteria tests need lab work, which our free in-home test does not do. The Virginia Household Water Quality Program, run by Virginia Cooperative Extension, holds low-cost well water clinics. If bacteria turn up, our team can talk with you about UV treatment.
An in-home test is done at your tap, and you get results on the spot. It is good for common treatment questions. A lab test is done by a certified lab and is the right choice for health questions such as bacteria or lead. Our free test is the in-home kind.

It looks at common treatment questions, such as how hard your water is. Ask us what the test covers when you book. If something needs a closer look, such as bacteria, lead or other health questions, we will tell you that a certified lab is the right next step.
Yes. We run the test at your tap and go over the results with you there. That talk is the useful part, so plan to be home. Customers mention that we arrive on time, with a text when we are on the way.
Both are worth testing if you see signs. Town water is treated to meet safety standards, but hardness is not a safety issue, so it can still leave scale. Some people also notice a chlorine taste. Well water has no utility behind it, so testing is up to you.
Test a private well on a regular schedule, and any time your water changes. A new color, smell or taste after heavy rain or a dry spell is a good reason. In karst rock, surface water can reach a well quickly. A certified lab handles the health tests.
