WHAT WE DO

Water-Genics is a state-of-the-art water testing laboratory and corrosion engineering firm, providing root cause failure analysis determinations, inspection and corrosion risk assessment of aging infrastructure and equipment, metallurgical testing, coating testing, concrete and other material testing. Industries we serve include the electric power, telecommunications, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, waterwaste water, medical, and manufacturing.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to provide new, innovative solutions for complex problems to enable clients to improve existing products or processes, develop new materials, and circumvent future materials failures. We also aim to provide water testing for contaminants to everyone – regardless of income or association. We are dedicated to our clients and committed to going the extra mile by providing quality services on time, within budget, and designed in compliance with industry standards to meet project requirements that give our clients the power to make informed decisions every step of the way

OUR MISSION

As part of delivering superb service and an experience beyond expectations, Team Water-Genics embraces the following:

Honesty: We value truthfulness, integrity and clarity in everything we do. We rely on FACTS to speak the truth. This allows us to be open, sincere and share our thoughts with our clients.

Care, Team Work and Action: We care, listen, and share our thoughts and engineering solutions providing practical, innovative, high-quality, and cost-effective solutions to our clients, as quickly as possible.

Safety: As industry professionals we are committed to promoting safety in public and the workplace, protect the environment, and use the most recent technologies in our services.

WE VALUE OUR CLIENTS

Throughout the years, we have noticed that much of our business comes from repeat clients. This is a true honor, and we do not take it lightly. Our experienced engineering team can account for much of this; however, we believe there is something more to it. We believe it can also be attributed to the open and friendly relationship we promote with our clients; our “open door” policy inviting clients to just drop by to meet with Dr. Zee, or one of our other engineers; and the wonderful relationships that we have built over the years with our clients serving their needs. We invite you too, to just drop by and get to know our people!
