At SP&D Home Inspections, our water quality testing helps homeowners and buyers understand exactly what is in their drinking water. Contaminants such as bacteria, lead, nitrates, and chemicals are invisible — and professional testing is the only way to know what you are consuming.

Whether your home uses municipal water or a private well in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, or anywhere in Middle Tennessee, testing provides peace of mind and protects your family’s health.

What Is Water Quality Testing?

Water quality testing measures the presence of bacteria, metals, minerals, and chemical contaminants that can affect taste, safety, and long-term health. Some contaminants come from aging plumbing systems, others from soil, agricultural runoff, or natural mineral deposits.

When Should You Test Your Water?

• Homes on private wells
• Homes with older plumbing or pipes
• Before buying or selling a home
• After plumbing repairs or flooding
• If water tastes, smells, or looks unusual
