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.
