Patterson's Water Testing

💧 DOES YOUR WATER HAVE A METALLIC TASTE?

If your drinking water tastes like metal, your water may be trying to tell you something.

One possible cause is low pH. Water that is too acidic can slowly corrode pipes and plumbing fixtures, allowing small amounts of metals to enter the water and affect its taste.

The good news? A professional water test can identify pH issues and help determine the best treatment solution for your home.

Don't ignore what your water is telling you. Understanding your water is the first step toward protecting your plumbing and improving your water quality.

💧 IS YOUR WATER'S pH IN BALANCE?

Most homeowners never think about pH levels—until they notice stains, plumbing issues, or water that just doesn't seem right.

The truth is, pH plays a major role in your water quality. Water with a low pH can be corrosive and may damage pipes and fixtures over time. Water with a high pH can contribute to mineral buildup and reduce the efficiency of your plumbing system.

The good news? A simple water test can reveal whether your water is properly balanced and help identify any issues before they become costly problems.

Don't guess what's in your water. Test it, understand it, and enjoy greater confidence in every drop.

If you’re noticing orange streaks on your sidewalks or driveway, it’s not just dirt—it’s often iron in your well water.

That iron oxidizes when exposed to air, leaving behind stubborn staining that keeps coming back.

That’s where we help.

We test your water, identify the cause, and provide treatment options to stop the staining at its source.

💧 Think iron might be affecting your property? Let’s take a look.

Does your hair feel dry, dull, or difficult to manage no matter what products you use?

The problem may not be your shampoo—it could be your water.

Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can leave buildup on your hair, making it feel dry and harder to keep looking its best.

A water softener helps remove those minerals, allowing soap and shampoo to rinse more effectively and helping your hair feel softer and cleaner.

You deserve water that works for you—not against you.

Ask us about water testing and water softener installation to see if hard water is affecting your home.💦

Your sprinkler system is supposed to keep your lawn looking great—not leave rust-colored stains across your sidewalks, driveway, and home.

Many well water systems contain iron that can create those stubborn orange stains every time your irrigation system runs.

That's why we installed this twin-tank water softener system designed for iron removal before the water reaches the sprinkler system.

Now our customer can enjoy a healthy lawn without the unsightly staining that untreated well water can leave behind.

A simple solution. A cleaner property. Better-looking results.

Soap should be cleaning your home—not fighting your water.

Hard water makes it harder for soap to lather and leaves behind scale that can build up in your pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

A water softener helps your water work the way it should, giving you cleaner dishes, brighter laundry, and better protection for your plumbing. 💧

🚨 Hidden water problems can become expensive plumbing repairs.

If your water has a low pH, it may be slowly corroding your copper pipes from the inside out. Over time, this can lead to pinhole leaks, pipe damage, and costly water repairs.

The good news? You don't have to wait for a leak to find out there's a problem.

Our water testing experts can identify corrosive water conditions and recommend solutions to help protect your plumbing system before damage occurs.

💧 Know what's in your water. Protect what's behind your walls.

Your tap water is treated to keep you safe—but that protection can come at a cost.

Chlorine is added to kill harmful bacteria, yet when levels are too high, it can leave behind unpleasant tastes and odors in your water.

Water testing helps ensure your water is safe *and* balanced—so it works for your health without affecting your experience. 💧

A home in NJ with a private well can look perfect—until testing becomes a closing issue.

Under the Private Well Testing Act (New Jersey), sellers are required to test well water during a transaction to confirm it meets safety standards set by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

When testing is missed or delayed, closings stall—and deals get put at risk.

That’s why top realtors build well testing into their process early: to protect their clients, prevent surprises, and keep closings on schedule.

Safe water. Smooth closings. Fewer surprises at the table.

Your water may look clean — but harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) can still be hiding inside.

These chemical contaminants can enter your water through fuels, pesticides, and household chemicals, potentially impacting your long-term health.

Water testing helps uncover what you can’t see, so your family can feel confident in every glass, shower, and tap.
