Water Quality Testing

We offer many different options for water quality testing. All of our quality testing comes with a flow test of the well to ensure the functionality of the pump and that there is adequate water to the household.

Our standard options for quality testing are a Bacteria test which includes Coliform and Ecoli as well as the flow testing or an FHA Short test which is required for FHA, VA and USDA loans and includes the bacteria, flow, but also nitrites, nitrates and lead.

We also offer any other water testing you can think of and would need, from organic to inorganic chemicals, just ask and we can get you a custom quote for anything you may be concerned about!

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally we will connect one of our hoses directly to the pump in the basement to get an unrestricted flow from the well. We then will choke the flow back to 3-4 gallons per minute to do the contract required two hour testing.

Bacteria results come in within 24 hours and as soon as we receive them we send them directly to you via the client portal you received your home inspection in. Our system will send you an automated email letting you know results are available!

FHA results take 7-10 business days, so don’t count holidays or weekends! We can put a rush on these results if needed for a small fee (we pass the fee along and don’t mark it up!).

The contract for this MLS states that a well needs to flow 3-4 GPM for two hours to pass. This flow rate will allow normal water usage in a home.
