WATER QUALITY TESTING
Because What’s in Your Water Matters.
When you turn on the tap, you expect clean, safe water – but how often do you really know what’s coming through your pipes? At Military Plumbing, we offer professional water quality testing for homes and businesses across Caddo Mills, Plano, Garland, Frisco, and the wider DFW area. Whether you’re noticing odd tastes, strange odors, or just want peace of mind, we’ll help you understand exactly what’s in your water – and what to do about it.
Our licensed plumbers are trained to identify common water quality issues in North Texas and recommend smart solutions that fit your home or business, including full-home filtration systems and point-of-use improvements.

WHAT IS WATER QUALITY TESTING?
Water quality testing is the process of analyzing the water flowing into your home or business for contaminants, minerals, and other elements that affect safety, taste, and performance. We check for things like:
Hardness (calcium and magnesium)
Chlorine levels
Iron, sulfur, and sediment
Bacteria and microbial activity
Total dissolved solids (TDS)
Lead, copper, and other heavy metals
pH balance and alkalinity
It’s a simple, non-invasive test – but it tells you a lot. Whether your water comes from a municipal supply or a private well, understanding its composition can help protect your plumbing system, extend the life of your appliances, and keep your family safe.

WHY SHOULD YOU TEST YOUR WATER?
Even treated city water can carry excess chlorine, sediment, or minerals by the time it reaches your faucet – especially if your home has older plumbing or galvanized pipes. And if you’re on a well or dealing with hard water? Testing is even more important.
Here’s why water testing makes sense:
PROTECT YOUR PLUMBING

Hard water buildup occurs when dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium accumulate inside pipes, on fixtures, and within appliances. Over time, this scale restricts water flow, reduces heating efficiency in water heaters, clogs aerators and showerheads, and shortens the lifespan of dishwashers, washing machines, and other water-using equipment throughout your home.
IMPROVE TASTE & SMELL

Sulfur, chlorine, and iron are common water contaminants that affect taste and smell. Sulfur produces a distinctive "rotten egg" odor from hydrogen sulfide gas. Chlorine, added during municipal treatment, creates a chemical taste and smell. Iron causes a metallic taste and can leave rust-colored stains on sinks, tubs, and laundry.
PREVENT STAINING

High mineral content, particularly iron and manganese, causes visible staining throughout your home. Iron produces orange, rust-colored stains on porcelain fixtures and fabrics. Manganese creates brown or black stains. Calcium and magnesium leave white, chalky deposits on faucets, showerheads, and glass surfaces. These mineral stains become harder to remove over time.
PROMOTE HEALTH

Certain water contaminants pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Lead exposure can affect brain development in children and cause neurological damage. Bacteria like E. coli and coliform can cause gastrointestinal illness. Nitrates are especially dangerous for infants, potentially causing blue baby syndrome. Older adults and those with compromised immune systems face heightened risks.
PLAN FOR FILTRATION

A proper water quality test identifies specific contaminants and mineral levels in your home's water supply. This data determines which filtration or softening technology addresses your actual problems - whether that's reverse osmosis for contaminants, ion exchange for hardness, carbon filtration for taste and odor, or a multi-stage combination system for multiple issues.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A WATER TEST?
Testing process: Our licensed plumber arrives within your scheduled window (backed by our On Time or On Our Dime guarantee), collects samples from multiple points - typically your kitchen tap, bathroom faucet, and water heater - and runs on-site tests for hardness, pH, chlorine, and TDS (total dissolved solids). For contaminant concerns like lead, bacteria, or specific chemicals, we send samples to a certified lab for detailed analysis.
Results review: Within 24-48 hours, we sit down with you and explain what we found in plain English. Hard water over 300 PPM? We'll show you how that's affecting your fixtures and appliances. Chlorine taste? We'll explain your filtration options. High iron content causing staining? We've seen it thousands of times across Northeast Texas and know exactly how to fix it.
Solution recommendations: Based on your specific results and budget, we'll recommend the right system - whether that's a HALO 5 whole-home filter, a Crystal Quest multi-stage system (we're Texas's only authorized vendor), a Plumbers Choice softener, or a combination approach. You get upfront flat-rate pricing on equipment and installation before making any decision. No pressure, no upsells - just honest guidance from plumbers who've installed water treatment systems since 2012.
