State-Certified Water Analysis for Homeowners

At Franklin County Lab, we view home water quality as essential for health and property. Since 1992, we’ve helped homeowners in Union, the St. Louis Metro, and Franklin County with state-certified drinking water testing for private wells. Using approved methods for Total Coliform and E. coli, we ensure reliable results. If your water is safe, no treatment is necessary; if there’s a risk, we offer guidance on certified disinfection and filtration solutions.

Trusted Home Water Experts—Serving Union & Beyond

Franklin County Lab is a privately owned, independent laboratory based in Union, MO. We are not a government agency, and we’re not a retail shop that leads with equipment.

Our team’s strength is the combination of laboratory rigor and licensed oversight, which helps you move from uncertainty to a clear plan. From certified bacteria testing and well chlorination to installations like UV light, water softeners, and reverse osmosis, we keep the workflow simple and the recommendations grounded in the lab report.
