Our lab
An independent water laboratory in Cable Point, Asaba, founded in 2019 so that families and businesses could find out what is in their water before buying anything.
Why we exist
Test first, honestly
Our founders kept meeting families who had paid for treatment systems they did not need, and others whose water had a problem nobody had checked for. Cascade started as a lab only. We added treatment later, on one rule: we only fit what the test calls for, and we retest to prove it works.
