Well Water Sample and Analysis

If your prospective home has an on-site water well, there are no government or health department regulations requiring routine testing of the water quality.

Many contaminants can be found in groundwater. The State of North Carolina has one of the most alarming rates of Arsenic in the country! Some areas of North Carolina frequently contain elevated levels of Radon in the groundwater. Nearby agricultural operations, and especially on-site or nearby septic systems can contribute to serious contamination of the water table. Most health organizations recommend analysis of well water at least once per year and after any repairs made to the pump/well system; if the home was built before 1979, there could be sources of lead in the plumbing pipes of the home. Lead based solder was commonly used with copper pipe installations, and was restricted after 1979.

Water wells and pumps are not included in a typical home inspection. A home inspection will only include those systems and components included inside, or part of the building itself, unless other components affect the structure. Newer wells and pumps are relatively simple and usually problem free. However, older systems and the wiring, insulation, water lines to/from the home etc. frequently do have problems and should be inspected.

Before purchasing any prospective home. The well pump should be inspected for proper functionality and a sample of water will be taken and submitted to an approved laboratory for analysis. Several tests may be performed by the lab according to specific site conditions. Homes serviced by municipal water supplies, may only need to indicate any lead contaminants; where those serviced by well water should test for any combination of: bacteria, lead, nitrates, nitrites, turbidity, arsenic, radon, etc. You should contact us prior to any Drinking Water Inspection to discuss what tests are appropriate for your situation.
