Services and Pricing
Water Testing Service:
The most common tests required by King County are Coliform Bacteria, Nitrates and Arsenic.
Services are offered at an estimated package rate of $337 for all 3, $292 for 2 samples and $245 for 1. (The client should note that the Labs have raise there fees 3 times since I started offering this service. My fee has remained the same flat $200, which is the same as Bob Seibold’s fee before me.)
Prices include sample collection, delivery service and communications/paperwork.
Lab charges will vary due to type of test performed, timing and rush request. Lab policies may add slightly to the package rate.
Additional services, such as water treatment, are billed at an hourly rate.

Ready to Schedule?
Call, text or email to schedule an appointment. I’m happy to answer any questions.
Water samples can typically be collected within 1 week.
Lab turnaround time varies with 1-2 weeks being standard.
It’s best to schedule a few weeks prior to when the sample report is required. This allows time to perform the necessary treatments to ensure a clean water record.
