Why test your well water

Bacteria, nitrates, lead, and pH shifts can develop silently after rain, farming runoff, or aging casing. Annual well water testing in Charlottesville, VA is the only way to know what your family is drinking.

- Nitratesfrom fertilizer & septic runoff
- Lead & copperleaching from older plumbing

FAQ
Well water testing in Charlottesville — common questions
How often should I test my well water in Charlottesville, VA?+
We recommend annual well water testing for coliform bacteria, nitrates, and pH at minimum. Test more frequently if you notice changes in taste, odor, or color, after heavy rains, after well repairs, or if anyone in the home is pregnant or an infant. A comprehensive panel every 3–5 years catches slower-moving contaminants like lead, VOCs, and radon.
What does a well water test check for?+
Our standard test covers coliform bacteria, E. coli, pH, hardness, total dissolved solids, nitrates, and nitrites. The comprehensive panel adds lead, copper, other heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and radon. Real estate / FHA tests use the exact parameter set required by Virginia lenders and federal loan programs.
How much does well water testing cost near Charlottesville?+
A standard well water test starts at $129, our comprehensive panel from $249, and a closing-ready real estate / FHA test from $199. Final pricing depends on your well type and how many parameters your lender or peace-of-mind requires — request a quote and we'll send an exact number in under an hour.
How long until I get my results?+
Most standard panels return in 3–5 business days. Bacteria-only results can arrive in 48 hours, and we offer expedited 48-hour turnaround for real estate closings. Every report includes a plain-English summary and a follow-up call to walk you through anything that needs action.
