Do I Need to Order a Water Quality Test in Addition to a Home Inspection?
A standard home inspection does not include water quality testing and cannot determine potential safety concerns through visual evaluation or a sewer scope inspection. Water testing is necessary to identify contaminants and ensure the water is safe for use.
Several indicators to needing water testing at a home inspection are:
If the home has a private well (testing is often required by lenders). We do not offer bacteria testing but can work with local licensed labs for a custom fee based on lab fees and desired turn around to get you what you need in this specific circumstance.
If you notice discoloration, odors, or unusual taste in the water.
If the home is in an area with known water contamination issues.
If the plumbing system contains older pipes that could leach lead.
If anyone in the household has sensitive health conditions.
Do You Offer Water Testing Inspections?
Yes, we offer water testing in addition to all home inspections for an additional fee.
What is Included in Water Quality Testing?
A water test involves collecting a sample from a home's water supply and analyzing it for contaminants, minerals, and other properties that may affect its safety and quality. Here’s how the process typically works:
1. Collecting the Sample
A sample is taken from the home's water source, usually from the kitchen sink or the well (if applicable).
In some cases, multiple samples may be collected to test different points in the plumbing system.
Proper collection procedures are followed to avoid contamination, such as using sterile containers and following lab guidelines.
2. Reviewing the Results
Results are compared to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) or local water quality standards to determine if any levels are unsafe.
If issues are detected, there may be courses of action that include: further testing, filtration systems, softeners, or disinfection.
