(For Well & Municipal Water Homes Across Colorado’s Foothills and Mountain Communities)
Introduction
No matter where you live in Colorado’s foothills and mountain communities—whether you rely on a private well, a shared well, or municipal water—understanding your home’s water and air quality is essential for your family’s health and peace of mind. Healthy Home Solutions proudly serves Conifer, Evergreen, and all surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius, providing comprehensive in-home evaluations designed for our region’s unique needs.
Why Schedule a Professional Home Evaluation?
DIY kits often miss hidden or emerging issues unique to mountain and foothill communities.
Our evaluations use onsite water testing equipment, advanced air quality assessment instruments and Certified Lab tests are available.
The education you receive makes it easier to spot changes in water quality or identify potential plumbing issues in the future.
You’ll get clear explanations, actionable solutions, and local expertise you can trust.
What to Expect During Your Evaluation
A typical visit takes about 90 minutes and includes:
Visual inspection of your water source and plumbing
Comprehensive water quality testing (dissolved solids, pH, hardness, iron, nitrate, chlorine, and more)
Indoor air quality testing (particles, humidity, VOCs, formaldehyde)
Personalized education and time for your questions
