We offer the standard Bacteria/Nitrite/Nitrate test. The test fee includes collection, preparation and shipping to a Certified Testing Lab. Bob is a Certified Water Collector (MDE Certification No. 0902-00-829). (See the section about additional tests on our FAQ page). Test results are typically available in three business days.

More complete tests are available if you have concerns, but they are not normally covered by contingencies and they can take much longer to process,

Please note: water testing requires at least 24 hour advance notice and can only be performed Monday through Thursday as the lab is not open Saturday to accept samples shipped on Friday.

If you have concerns about local environmental conditions we suggest you obtain a local environmental report which will detail all EPA identified environmental conditions of note near the property.  Additional information about the reports can be found at EDR or by asking Bob.  We offer these reports for a nominal fee.  These must be ordered ahead of time as they take a few hours to be generated.  We can either email the report to you or bring it with us to the inspection.  You can also order them without an inspection for the same fee.

For more complete non-real-estate transaction water tests, we had been referring clients to a company in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, this company has ceased operations. We are currently searching for a reputable water testing company that offers the same services, and will update our site when we find one we feel comfortable recommending.
