Water Quality Inspection
Comprehensive water testing for safe, clean drinking water
Water contains differing amounts of natural and artificial contaminants. Many of these contaminants are beneficial and sometimes essential to human nutrition. However, at elevated levels, certain contaminants have been linked to a variety of health problems. Whether your home uses a private well or a municipal water supply, testing your water quality is an important step in protecting your family's health.
We work closely with a local laboratory to provide accurate and timely results. Our water testing services can detect bacteria, heavy metals, nitrates, and other contaminants that may be present in your water supply.
Water Testing Options
Bacteria Water Test
Tests for the presence of coliform bacteria and E. coli, which can indicate contamination from sewage or animal waste. Recommended for all private wells.
FHA/VA Water Test
Meets the specific testing requirements for FHA and VA home loans. Includes testing for bacteria, nitrates, nitrites, lead, and other parameters required by lenders.
Complete Water Test
A comprehensive panel that tests for a wide range of contaminants including bacteria, heavy metals, minerals, pH levels, hardness, and more. Provides the most thorough picture of your water quality.
When Should You Test Your Water?
When purchasing a home with a private well
When required by your mortgage lender (FHA/VA loans)
If you notice changes in taste, color, or odor of your water
After repairs or changes to your well or plumbing system
If nearby land use has changed (new construction, agriculture, etc.)
Annually for private wells as recommended by the EPA
How It Works
Our inspector collects water samples from your property following strict laboratory protocols to ensure accurate results. Samples are delivered to a certified local laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within 3-5 business days, and we'll provide you with a clear, easy-to-understand report of the findings along with any recommended actions.
Water testing can be added to any home inspection or scheduled as a stand-alone service.
