Well Water Testing

When your drinking water comes from a private water system, you’re responsible for knowing what’s in it. Moses Home Inspections Inc takes the uncertainty out of that responsibility with professional well water testing. Our team knows the questions that come with relying on your own water supply, and our testing is there to answer them. Once your results are in, you’ll know more about the water coming through your taps and what that means for your household.

What Are the Signs of Contaminated Water?

Your well water shouldn’t change without a reason. Differences in its appearance, smell, or taste are worth investigating through proper testing.

Pay attention to:

Changes in color that leave your water cloudy, yellow, or brown
Unusual smells coming from the water at your taps
Different tastes that persist when you drink the water
Visible sediment settling in a glass or collecting around fixtures
New staining appearing on sinks, tubs, or plumbing fixtures

Not every water quality problem leaves a visible sign, though. That’s why appearance alone shouldn’t determine whether your well water is safe to drink.

Moses Home Inspections Inc’s Water Testing Services

Moses Home Inspections Inc provides well water testing services that determine the potability of water from private systems. The quality of the sample matters because improper handling can affect how accurately it represents the water being tested.

For reliable testing, water samples should be:

Drawn from a properly prepared tap
Collected after allowing fresh water to run through the system
Protected from outside contamination during collection
Sealed immediately after collection

Labelled with the sampling location, date, and time
Kept cold during storage and transportation
Delivered to the laboratory

Following proper sampling and handling procedures helps preserve the integrity of the water sample before laboratory testing.

What Should Well Water Be Tested For?

Our standard well water testing checks for E. coli and coliform bacteria, two important indicators used to determine whether your water is safe to drink. Because contamination isn’t always obvious from the way water looks, smells, or tastes, testing gives you information you won’t get from the tap alone.

We also offer mineral analysis at an additional cost. This testing measures the mineral levels in your water and gives you a closer look at its makeup. Together, these testing options give you a more complete picture of what’s in the water coming from your private system.

How Often Should You Test Your Well Water?

Private well water should be tested for bacteria twice a year. Sticking to a regular testing schedule keeps you informed about your water quality, even when nothing about the water coming from your tap seems different.

Changes around your property or well are good reasons to test sooner. The same applies if you notice something different about your water or have concerns about its quality. Regular testing gives you an up-to-date picture of your drinking water and helps you catch potential problems before you continue relying on it.
