- Water-testing support available 24/7
New York and New Jersey are among the worst states in the country for lead pipes
Millions of service lines nationally are still recorded as unknown material. Unknown is not the same as safe.
Be aware of outlet differences
Different fixtures in the same property can produce different results depending on plumbing and use patterns.
Plumbing can change the result
Service lines, interior pipes, solder, valves and fixtures can all influence water after it enters a property.
Test the concern directly
Laboratory analysis can be selected for lead, bacteria, metals, PFAS and other parameters based on what you want to know.

Five departure locations
Four ways to answer a question about your tap, and what each one actually tells you
| Option | What it answers | What it leaves open |
|---|---|---|
| Switching to bottled | Avoids the tap for drinking | What is at the tap, and everything else the tap is used for |
| Installing a filter | Addresses whatever it is rated to address | Whether that was the issue, and whether it is still working |
| Home test strip | A rough reading on a few basic parameters | Anything at low concentration, and anything not on the strip |
| Utility annual report | How the system performed to the compliance point | Everything inside the property |
| Laboratory sample | Measured values at a stated point under stated conditions | How that changes on a different day or fixture |
Professional Tap Water Testing for Households
Households form an impression of their water from taste, odor and appearance. Those senses are a reasonable guide to sediment, iron and chlorine, and they detect nothing at all where lead and PFAS are concerned.
Olympian Water Testing conducts professional tap water testing for households, renters, families and buyers across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
What Testing Establishes That Observation Cannot
Lead and PFAS produce no color, taste or odor at any concentration. Professional sampling and analysis is the only way to establish whether they are present at a given tap.
Lead bearing components remain in current installations, including brass faucet bodies, angle stops, mixing valves, hose bibbs and pipe fittings, and fixtures manufactured to the lead free standard return measurable lead with regularity. Homes of every age warrant assessment.
How Parameter Selection Works
Parameter selection is determined through an in depth consultation with one of our consultants, frequently conducted in writing, covering the property, its plumbing history and what prompted the enquiry.
Most household selections begin with lead and copper at the taps used for drinking and cooking, extending to bacteriological indicators, PFAS, chemical parameters or a full potability selection where the property supports it.
Understanding Our Reporting
Our reporting identifies each sampling point, the analytical method, the reporting limit and the measured value for every parameter selected.
Each value is set against the applicable published reference with the category of that reference identified, so the figures can be interpreted correctly by the client and by anyone they share them with.
