Book Your InspectionA private well has no city water report, so the test is on you. North Carolina’s well water guidance says to test for bacteria every year, and buying the home is the best time to start.
We take the sample during your inspection, so it’s one less thing to line up during due diligence.

A bacteria test is $150, the lender scan is $240 and the premium scan is $320. The price covers collecting the sample and the lab work for that level, and you can add it to your home inspection or ask us about a test on its own.
Ask your lender first: if your loan calls for a water test, they’ll tell you which one they want, and the lender scan is built for that. For a basic safety check on a private well, the bacteria test is where most people start. Call or text us and we’ll help you pick.
You don’t have to bring it anywhere. We collect the sample at the house while we’re there for your inspection and send it to the lab for you.
A well can look and taste fine and still have bacteria, and the seller’s last test may be years old. A lab test during your due diligence gives you today’s answer, while you can still ask the seller for a fix.
