Look beyond the utility reportPoint-of-use testing can reveal conditions associated with the service line, building plumbing or individual fixtures.
Test for the concern you actually haveLead, bacteria, PFAS, VOCs, metals and other contaminants require specific laboratory analysis rather than a generic 'water test.'
Professional sampling & analysisOlympian provides on-site collection with accredited environmental laboratory analysis for the parameters selected.

Professional Water Testing Conducted to a Documented Standard

The value of a water analysis rests on two things: the parameters selected, and the conditions under which the samples were collected. Both are decisions made before any analysis begins.

Olympian Water Testing provides professional water testing for homeowners, boards, managing agents, building owners, engineers, institutional clients and counsel acting in transactions throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Why Collection Conditions Determine the Result

Stagnation is the dominant variable for anything the plumbing contributes, and fixture selection, recent disturbance and the presence of treatment equipment all influence what a sample contains.

Olympian Water Testing documents each of those elements as standard practice, which allows a result to be interpreted on its merits rather than assessed in isolation.

What Distinguishes a Professional Engagement

Our sampling technicians perform the site visit, controlling and documenting the conditions at each point.

Parameter selection is determined through an in depth consultation with one of our consultants, frequently conducted in writing, and the analytical method applied to each parameter is stated in the reporting.

Understanding Our Reporting

Our reporting identifies every parameter selected with its method and reporting limit, the measured value, the sampling point, and the applicable reference framework.

Parameters not detected above the reporting limit are stated explicitly, which establishes the full extent of what was examined.

Thirty Five Years in the New York Market

Olympian Water Testing has operated across the metropolitan region since 1991 from five departure locations, with NELAP accredited laboratory analysis and accredited results provided.

A specimen report is available on request prior to engagement, and enquiries are received at any hour of any day.

Common questions

What is the fastest way to narrow down a water-quality concern?
Identify exactly what changed, which fixtures are affected, whether hot or cold water is involved, when it started and whether any plumbing or street work occurred. Those details help target the testing.
Why does the same contaminant sometimes test differently at different taps?
The water may contact different fixtures, branch lines and plumbing materials, and it may remain in those sections for different lengths of time.
Can a single negative test rule out every water problem?
No. The result applies to the analytes, sample point and sampling event tested. It cannot rule out substances that were not included or conditions that change over time.
When is follow-up water sampling useful?
Follow-up testing can confirm an unexpected result, compare another location, evaluate a repair or treatment change, or investigate whether a condition is isolated or widespread.
