Lake and Pond Water Testing in Kansas City

Keep your pond healthy, clear, and safe with professional lake and pond water monitoring in Kansas City, Missouri. We help homeowners, HOAs, farms, golf courses, and property managers understand what’s happening below the surface—so you can prevent algae blooms, protect fish, and maintain healthy water year-round.

Why It’s Important to Test Your Waterbody as a Routine Part of Lake and Pond Management

Routine lake pond water testing turns guesswork into a clear plan. It shows what’s driving changes in your pond, from nutrient buildup to low oxygen, so you can act early, protect wildlife, keep fish healthy, and maintain a beautiful, safe body of water. Benefits include:

  • Prevent scum, algae, and weeds: Catch high nutrients before blooms take off.
  • Protect fish: Track oxygen and temperature stratification to reduce fish stress and fish-kill risk.
  • Improve clarity: Identify the true cause of murky water (algae vs. suspended clay).
  • Support recreation: Monitor for E. coli and cyanobacteria toxins when swimming is a goal.

Our Water Quality Monitoring Programs and Testing Services in Missouri

There are many complex interactions and processes involved in the management of a freshwater system. Evaluating the water quality of a lake is important and can help detect changes in the ecosystem for better or worse. Determining the correct parameters to choose from when designing a water quality monitoring program depends entirely on the lake or pond situation.

Core parameters we can monitor for your waterbody:

  • Dissolved oxygen profiles
  • Water temperature profiles
  • Phosphorus levels
  • Water clarity (secchi)
  • Chlorophyll a
  • e.coli/bacterial samples
  • Cyanobacteria and microcystin analysis
  • Water hardness
  • Alkalinity
  • pH testing
  • Zebra mussel monitoring
  • Aquatic vegetation monitoring

Pond Assessments

Does your future home or property have a pond or are you looking to sell your current pond property?

Consider our Pond Assessment Service to help evaluate the water body.

A pond can either increase the value of a property or be a major concern depending on a few factors. Our trained professionals can assess the body of water and help you better understand the current condition of the pond, as well as any water quality issues.

A Pond Assessment includes:

  • Maximum Depth
  • Size in surface acres
  • Vegetation Survey
  • Estimated Maintenance Costs
  • Water Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen

A Water Quality Analysis is also a service we provide to better understand your lake or pond water quality and productivity. This is recommended for weed and algae growth issues, fish stress, or when making habitat management changes.

Our Advanced Water Quality Tests include:

  • Total Nitrogen
  • Total Phosphorus
  • Turbidity
  • pH
  • Conductivity
  • Alkalinity
  • Hardness
  • Chlorophyl-a concentration

In addition to our Advanced Water Quality Tests, we offer Baseline Water Quality Tests, which are ideal for quick health checks and routine monitoring for lake and pond maintenance.

Our Baseline Water Quality Test includes:

  • Total Nitrogen
  • Total Phosphorus
  • Turbidity
