Water Testing

The state of CT suggests annual water quality testing for homes with well water. Homes with existing mitigation or filtration systems should be tested for accuracy and continued functionality. We offer testing for potability, bacteria, chemical profile, radon in water, arsenic, uranium. Our lab report will tell if you need a treatment system for any of the above elements.

Lead in water is generally due to corrosion in plumbing and faucets, or possibly pipes used in older homes. Some lenders will ask for this test for an older home.

Our inspector usually collects the water samples at the time of the inspection.

Basic Water Test: What is Included?

  • Bacteria (Coliform, E. Coli, Chlorine)
  • Physical Parameters (pH, Turbidity, Color, Odor)
  • Chemicals (Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrite Nitrogen, Sulfate, Calcium, Magnesium, Hardness, Sodium, Copper, Iron, Manganese)

Standard Profile : What is Included?

Comprehensive test is offered for homes with wells as the drinking water supply.

  • All items in the Basic Water Test
  • Lead
  • Radon
  • Uranium
  • Arsenic

Water Flow Test

The flow test measures the available water supply at a property. It can determine if the supply will meet your needs. The inspector will measure the gallons per minute (GPM) over an hours time period. Some wells produce better than others.

This information may also be significant for the installation of sprinkler system.

Additional Testing

Additional types of testing are recommended when odors or other factors exist. Potential contaminants in the soil may result from previous commercial, manufacturing, or animal waste on the property.

  • VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
  • Pesticides
