Safe and clean water is something every Del City homeowner should be able to rely on. But with naturally hard water, older plumbing systems in certain neighborhoods, and seasonal changes that can affect water quality, regular water testing is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your home, your health, and your plumbing system.
At Lieber Mechanical, we help Del City residents get clear, accurate water testing results to determine what's in their water, and what solutions will give them the cleanest, highest quality water possible.
What Water Testing Reveals in Del City
While Del City's municipal water meets federal guidelines, testing your water can uncover issues that affect taste, odor, water hardness, and appliance performance.
Common findings in Del City homes include:
- High mineral content (hard water)
- Chlorine and chloramine levels from city water treatment
- Iron and sediment from aging pipes
- pH imbalances
- Total dissolved solids
- Bacteria or contaminants in certain areas, especially rural edges or well water homes
Testing provides a clear picture of what's flowing from your tap, and it's the first step toward custom water solutions that actually work.
Why Water Testing Is Especially Important in Del City
1. Hard Water is Extremely Common
Del City is known for high calcium and magnesium levels. Hard water leads to:
- Scale buildup in plumbing and water heaters
- Shortened appliance lifespan
- Dingy laundry
- Dry skin and hair
A water test identifies the exact hardness level so you can choose the right softening or filtration system.
2. Older Plumbing Can Introduce Sediment
Many Del City neighborhoods have aging pipes that may contribute to discoloration or particles in household water. Testing helps determine if sediment filters or whole home systems are needed.
3. Taste and Odor Issues
Chlorine used in city treatment can leave an unwanted smell or flavor. A simple water test reveals what level is present and how to best remove it.
4. Well Water Testing for Del City Outskirts
Homes just outside the city limits often rely on well water. Testing is essential to detect:
- Bacteria
- Nitrates
- Iron and sulfur
- Heavy metals
Regular well testing ensures your home stays safe and compliant with local health guidelines.
What a Professional Water Test Includes
A complete water analysis typically checks for:
- Water hardness
- pH levels
- Iron, calcium, and magnesium
- Chlorine/chloramine
- Total dissolved solids
- Bacteria indicators
- Taste and odor concerns
Lieber Mechanical provides thorough water testing and clear explanations of your results, so you know exactly what's going on in your home's water supply.
What Happens After the Water Test?
Once your Del City water test is complete, we recommend customized solutions based on your results. This might include:
- Water softeners

Because every Del City home is different, testing allows us to tailor a system that solves your specific water challenges, not a one size fits all approach.
