“We test your water for the issues common to wells in our area and explain exactly what the results mean for your family.”
Private wells aren't regulated or tested by anyone but you. An annual test is the only way to know whether the water your family drinks is safe.
We test at the correct fixtures, use certified labs where required, and explain what the numbers mean — including whether treatment is actually warranted.
How the job goes
- 1
Choose the right panel
A new baby, a change in taste or color and a yearly checkup each call for different tests. We match the panel to your situation so you don't pay for analytes you don't need.
- 2
Proper collection
Testing is done from the correct fixtures with proper technique — a contaminated draw means a false scare and a wasted lab fee.
- 3
Certified lab analysis
Health-related parameters go to certified labs; field readings cover the basics on the spot so you're not waiting for everything.

What affects the cost
No two wells are identical, so we quote after diagnosis — never before. These are the factors that move the price:
- Which analytes are included — bacteria only vs. full chemistry panels
- Certified lab fees for health-related parameters
- Whether treatment or repair follow-up work is needed
- Retesting after treatment or shock chlorination
