Well Water Testing (Only Offered With Home Inspections)

Well Water Testing

Well water testing is one of the most important steps you can take to protect the health of your household. While public water systems are regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, private wells are not monitored by the government—making regular testing essential, especially when buying or living in a home in Northwest Indiana.

If your home relies on a private well, we recommend testing your water every few years to ensure it remains safe and free from harmful contaminants.

Certified Home Inspections tests for the most common threats to drinking water, including:

  • Bacteria (Total Coliform and E. coli)
  • Nitrates and Nitrites
  • Lead

Our sampling process follows strict Indiana State and national reporting standards. During the inspection, we collect samples from primary water-use areas in your home. Each faucet is properly disinfected before sampling, and all samples are handled according to required storage times and temperature controls. Samples are then delivered to a certified local laboratory, with results typically available within two days.

Once testing is complete, you’ll receive your results directly from the lab, along with clear information so you can take action if needed.

Contaminants in well water can pose serious health risks. E. coli bacteria can cause severe illness, while elevated nitrates are especially dangerous for infants and may lead to “blue baby syndrome.” Lead contamination, often caused by corroding pipes or fixtures, is a toxic risk for people of all ages.

A simple water test can give you peace of mind and help prevent costly or dangerous problems down the line. Contact us today to schedule your well water test and get fast, reliable answers about your home’s water quality.
