ETR Laboratories is accredited by ANAB for specific testing as listed in our scope of accreditation.
Charlotte draws its water from Mountain Island Lake on the Catawba River, a surface source rich in organic matter. Chlorine used to disinfect that water reacts with the organic matter and forms trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. Our in-house lab runs disinfection byproduct panels on site, the same panels other testing companies send us when they need results they can stand behind. Passing a federal standard and staying below a health-based guideline are two different things, and we help you see which one your water actually meets.
Hexavalent chromium, known as chromium-6, has turned up in Charlotte's water above recommended health guidelines. The EPA has not set a legal limit for this compound, so its presence carries no violation and no public notice. Our water quality experts have spent over 30 years catching exactly these kinds of gaps between legal compliance and actual risk. A system can report zero violations and still contain a contaminant worth knowing about, and we'll walk you through what that means for your home.
Mecklenburg County's rapid development has pushed new construction into areas outside Charlotte Water's service area. Groundwater near Charlotte Douglas International Airport has shown high PFAS levels tied to historical firefighting foam use. ETR has completed over 1,000 in-field well inspections nationwide, and we've seen this exact pattern of PFAS near airports and military sites before. Every sample runs start to finish in our own lab, so new well owners in these developments get answers they can trust, not a data sheet forwarded from somewhere else.

“The test was simple–collect a water sample from a faucet in the home. We sent the test to the lab and received a water quality analysis within a few days. The test included analysis of the water sample for the presence of: coliform bacteria, E. coli, iron, lead, pH, turbidity, and nitrates/nitrites.”
“Incredible lab, they really care about their customers. As someone who doesn’t know a whole lot about water quality, they took their time to help me understand everything about my water quality situation.”
