How does a home water test work?

You receive a test kit by mail, take a sample and send it to the lab. After analysis, you receive a clear report.

Which pollutants can be tested?

Our kits detect mould, asbestos, bacteria, PFAS, pesticides, heavy metals and more – depending on the test package.

How long does it take to get results?

The laboratory analysis usually takes 2 to 3 weeks after the sample arrives. The report is sent digitally.
