💧 Professional Well Water Testing Service

Ensuring Safe, Clean Water for Your Home

If your home relies on a private well, a regular Well Water Testing Service is essential to protect your family's health. Unlike municipal water, the quality of well water is not federally monitored, leaving the responsibility entirely to the homeowner. Affordable Inspections, Inc. offers reliable and accurate water sampling and testing to identify contaminants and ensure your water is safe for consumption and use.

Our Well Water Testing Service Process

When you book a well water testing service with Affordable Inspections, Inc., here is what you can expect:

  1. Preparation: Our inspector will purge the well system by running water for a set period to get a representative sample of the groundwater, not just standing water in the pipes.
  2. Sampling: The inspector carefully collects the water in sterilized, laboratory-provided containers.
  3. Lab Analysis: The sealed samples are transported immediately to the certified laboratory for analysis.
  4. Reporting: You will receive a detailed laboratory report that clearly states the concentration of each tested contaminant and compares it to EPA safety standards. Affordable Inspections will help you interpret the results.

Frequently Asked Questions (Well Water Testing)

  • Many of the most dangerous contaminants, such as bacteria (like E. coli), Nitrates, and Lead, are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Visual appearance and taste are not reliable indicators of water safety. Affordable Inspections, Inc.'s well water testing service uses laboratory analysis to identify these hidden health threats, giving you a definitive answer on your water's quality.
  • Affordable Inspections performs the critical water sampling and ensures the samples are collected under strict, controlled conditions. However, the analysis is performed by a third-party, state-certified environmental laboratory. This ensures the integrity, accuracy, and unbiased nature of every Well Water Testing Service result we provide.
  • If your report from Affordable Inspections, Inc. shows contaminant levels exceeding EPA limits, the necessary next step depends on the contaminant. For bacteria, the well may need to be shocked with chlorine. For chemical or metal issues, a professional water treatment system (like a reverse osmosis filter or a specialized filtration unit) may be required. We can connect you with local water treatment experts.
  • The EPA recommends that private wells be tested for Coliform bacteria and Nitrates at least once per year. If there has been any change in the water's taste, odor, or color, or if flooding has occurred near the wellhead, immediate testing via our Well Water Testing Service is recommended. Testing is also always required during a real estate transaction.
  • No, the Well Water Testing Service is a specialized, optional service that requires laboratory analysis and is an add-on to the standard Home Inspection. Affordable Inspections, Inc. offers competitive pricing when you bundle your water test with any other inspection service.

Chad Bryant of Affordable Inspections was EXCELLENT! His inspection of my house was very thorough and he took the time to show me some of his findings. He explained anything I didn’t understand and entertained all questions. The final report was so much more than I was expecting, it was very detailed with photos documenting everything. In my opinion, the rates were a bargain and I would happily have paid more, and obviously highly recommend!

Arlene Pink 1/6/2025

I was very pleased with the inspection on the home I was purchasing. The inspector went over everything he noticed while I was right there with him. They were friendly, courteous and completely understanding when I had questions about something in the home. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a home inspection. I would definitely use them again if needed

Brett Robison 7/31/2023

Chad was excellent! His thorough inspection uncovered a problem with the master bath shower that allowed us to get an $8,000 credit at closing! The report he filed was very detailed including routine maintenance items we will need to be on top of as new home owners. I can't think Chad and Affordable Inspections enough for their highly professional execution. Highly recommend using their services for your next home purchase!

Jeff B 7/26/2023

It may seem pricey at first, but the level of expertise, the detail, and the thoroughness of the inspection more than made this the best home inspection we have ever ordered. Austin communicated well and was able to perform the inspection and generate the report quickly enough to meet our tight schedule. He handled the house, septic and well testing, eliminating two other tests we would have to order, saving is time and hassle. I highly ... continue reading

Austin is a great inspector, very thorough and complete. After the inspection he was also very available to answer questions. Probably the best inspector I have ever had for a home inspection.
