    What Your Free Report Includes

    Our free ZIP code lookup analyzes regional water quality data across 8 critical categories to give you an instant preliminary assessment.

    8 Category Scores

    Individual scores for lead, PFAS, microplastics, bacteria, chlorine, nitrates, hardness, and pH.

    Letter Grades A–F

    Easy-to-understand grades with color-coded risk levels for each contaminant category.

    Regional Context

    Results contextualized for your specific region — hard water belt, agricultural areas, industrial zones.

    Known Concerns

    Flagged issues based on known contamination sources, infrastructure age, and historical data.

    Regional Water Quality Patterns

    Water quality varies dramatically by region. Our database accounts for these known patterns.

    Hard Water Belt

    Midwest (IN, OH, WI, MN)

    Groundwater sources with naturally high calcium and magnesium. Causes scale buildup, appliance damage, and requires 50% more detergent.

    Agricultural Runoff Zones

    Great Plains & Central Valley

    Nitrate contamination from fertilizers and animal waste. The #1 contaminant in private wells. Linked to blue baby syndrome.

    PFAS Hotspots

    Near Military Bases & Industry

    Firefighting foam (AFFF) and industrial discharge contaminate groundwater. PFAS detected near 700+ military installations.

    Aging Infrastructure

    Northeast & Rust Belt Cities

    Lead service lines, Victorian-era mains, and chlorinated distribution systems create lead exposure and DBP formation risks.
