Water Testing

​

Safe drinking water is often taken for granted but when our confidence waivers, fear about unsafe drinking water becomes the center of our attention. 

​

We can help you get a test for the water if the house you are buying has a private well. We take a sample and send it to an EPA licensed water testing laboratory and get you quick results.

​

Unlike tap water sourced from a public utility, well water is not regulated by the Safe Water Drinking Act, which allows the EPA to set national standards for good drinking water. It’s important for people who have a private well to test water regularly.

​

Recommended schedule for testing by the NC Department of Health and Human Services:

​

Every Year – Test for total fecal and coliform bacteria.

Every Two Years – Test for heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites, lead, copper and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Every Five Years – Test for pesticides. If you know of a particular pesticide that is applied in your area, test yearly.

​

All private wells are tested when they are installed, but routine testing is important because changes in the surrounding environment, even miles away can alter what’s in the ground water. Ground water contaminants come from natural sources and processes, such as eroding mineral deposits and groundwater flow changes, as well as human and animal sources including construction and agricultural activity.

​

There are numerous contaminants you could test for that may require additional time and cost so it is important to communicate with us clearly what exactly you need tested or visit our website to find water tests offered.
