FAQ
Do you have questions about the quality of your drinking water?
The Laboratoire Notreau answers the most common concerns to help you better understand the importance of water testing.
Below you will find answers to the questions our clients most frequently ask about drinking water testing, frequency, and results.
Drinking water analysis verifies its safety and compliance, especially if your water comes from a well or a private source.
It allows you to detect bacteria, heavy metals, minerals or chemical contaminants that may pose a health risk.
Beyond peace of mind, this analysis is often required by insurers, mortgage lenders or municipalities.
It is recommended to have your well water tested at least once a year, ideally in spring after the snow melt.
Additional tests are advised after heavy rainfall, in case of changes in colour, taste or smell, or after work on your plumbing or pump system.
Our drinking water analyses cover bacteriological parameters (E. coli, total coliforms, atypical bacteria), physicochemistry (pH, hardness, iron, manganese, alkalinity, conductivity, TDS, tannins) and, on request, heavy metals or specific chemical contaminants.
A turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours is required for bacteriological and physicochemical analyses. For other contaminants, the lab issues a clear and documented report.
An express service is available on request.
Yes, in some cases. Financial institutions often require it for mortgages, insurers may require it before issuing coverage, and certain municipalities require it after well work or for transfers of ownership.
Notreau issues a clear, recognized analysis report that meets these requirements.
