Why It Matters

Private well water is never automatically tested.

Municipal water is regulated and routinely tested. A private well is the homeowner's responsibility alone — Michigan does not require ongoing testing after a well is drilled. If a home has never had its water tested, nobody actually knows what's in it.

What's Tested

A full panel, not a single strip test.

Total Coliform & E. coli

The standard indicators of bacterial contamination from surface water intrusion or septic proximity.

Lead

Tested against current EPA action levels — critical in older Michigan homes with aging plumbing or service lines.

Nitrates

Common in agricultural areas and a particular concern for infants and pregnant women.

pH & Hardness

Affects plumbing longevity, water heater lifespan, and whether a softener system is worth considering.

Iron & Sulfur

The usual causes of staining, odor, and taste complaints in Southeast Michigan well water.

Full Lab Report

Every result delivered as part of your inspection report, in plain language — not just a raw lab printout.

How To Add It

Same visit, one $99 add-on — or book it on its own.

Water testing is collected during your regular inspection visit at no extra scheduling — just add it when you book. Already closed, or don't need a full inspection? Water testing can also be scheduled as a standalone service. See full pricing →

Common Questions

What homeowners on well water usually ask.

Do I need this if I'm on city water?

Municipal water is already regulated and tested — this add-on is specifically for homes on private wells.

Will my lender require it?

Many mortgage lenders require a water quality test before closing on a home with a private well — check with your loan officer.

How fast are results?

Typically a few business days, added directly to your inspection report or sent separately if booked standalone.
