City water and mountain wells are not the same test

Free Water Testing in Scranton & Wilkes-Barre

Pennsylvania American Water’s valley supply is officially soft. Clarks Summit and Dallas wells often are not. A free 30-minute test at your kitchen tap is how we refuse to quote a Scranton carbon tank for a Back Mountain sulfur well — or a softener for Kingston city water. Hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, TDS, explained in plain English.

If you searched water test Scranton or well test Dallas, this is the visit. City homes get chlorine residual, sediment after main work, and a lead sample in pre-war housing. Abingtons and Back Mountain wells add iron, sulfur, genuine hardness, and the annual coliform conversation Pennsylvania will not have for you. Hazleton’s reservoir-and-well mix is its own CCR. We leave you with numbers even when the honest recommendation is to buy nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Scranton / Wilkes-Barre water test really free?
Yes. About 30 minutes at your kitchen tap, every number explained, no obligation. Certified lab work for bacteria, lead, or PFAS is a separate optional step we will not surprise you with.
Is Scranton water hard?
City supply is officially soft per the utility’s published reports (roughly 1.3–2.8 grains per gallon). Abingtons wells above the city often are hard. The free test is how you know which water you have.
I am in Dallas / Harveys Lake.
Bring the well panel: iron, sulfur, hardness, pH. Opening-weekend testing is smart for lake homes. We come to the kitchen.
Will you quote equipment the same day?
When the numbers support it, you get a written recommendation after the test. We do not publish prices on the website.
Hazleton and Kingston?
Yes. Those towns have their own service and tap-water pages. The test visit is the same offer.
