Water Testing in Ravenswood
We test what affects your plumbing and your taste, like hardness, chlorine and sediment, and explain the results plainly.
Chicago's Lake Michigan water is treated and tested by the city. The pipes inside a century-old home are a separate question. For health-related testing, a state-certified lab can run a full panel, and we'll point you to one.

The city treats the water. What happens inside an older home depends on its pipes.
Century-Old Pipe Inside
Old galvanized pipe can affect taste, color and pressure.
Whole-House or Point-of-Use
A whole-house filter treats everything. An under-sink filter treats drinking water.
Protecting New Fixtures
Filtration helps keep new faucets and appliances clean.

Filtration in a Century-Old Home
Chicago treats and tests its Lake Michigan water before it reaches your street. Inside an older Ravenswood home, the water then passes through decades-old pipe and fixtures. A filter at the kitchen sink is the simplest way to improve drinking water. A whole-house filter treats everything. If you're seeing rusty water or low pressure, the pipe itself may need attention, and we'll tell you if a filter is masking a bigger problem.
