Have you had your water tested?

when you do the water test should you test your hot water rather than cold? I would assume NTM could be in the hot water tank.

NTM is generally in biofilm that sticks in the water pipes and taps, as well as potentially being in the water supply. If the water heater is maintained at 130F or hotter, there will be little NTM there.
For testing, follow the specific instructions of the company you choose.
