Whether you’re a buyer, seller, agent, lender, or attorney, we deliver accurate, certified results that meet all state, federal, and underwriting standards.

North Carolina has one of the highest numbers of private wells in the country — and no state entity regulates the quality of your private well water.
Because of this, lenders and real estate professionals require proof that:

• The water is safe to drink

• The well is functioning properly

• All contaminants meet EPA Safe Drinking Water Act limits

• The results come from a State & EPA-Certified laboratory

• The sample was collected by a certified provider using chain-of-custody

Missing or incorrect testing is a leading cause of closing delays in NC transactions.

Our standard NC water testing package includes:

Laboratory Tests (State & EPA Certified)

✔ Total Coliform
✔ E. coli
✔ Nitrate
✔ Nitrite
✔ Expanded metals (lead, copper, iron, manganese) when required

EPA-Recognized Field Parameters

✔ pH
✔ Temperature
✔ Turbidity
✔ Conductivity
✔ TDS
✔ Free Chlorine
✔ Total Chlorine

These field readings support sample integrity and provide context for lab results.

Additional Lender-Required Data

✔ Flow Rate (GPM)
✔ System Pressure
✔ Recovery Observations
✔ Field Photos
✔ GPS/GIS Mapping (optional)

Our reports are accepted by:

✔ Banks
✔ Mortgage lenders
✔ VA/FHA underwriters

Flow-Rate, Pressure & Recovery Testing (NC Lender Expectations)

North Carolina lenders often require proof that a private well meets minimum performance expectations.

These numbers often make or break VA/FHA approvals.

Why Water Tests Fail in North Carolina

Top failure causes:

• Bacteria contamination after rainfall

• Septic drainfield infiltration

• Shallow bored wells

• Iron & manganese in Piedmont counties

• High copper from plumbing corrosion

• Nitrates from agriculture

• Lead from older pipes

• Long periods of vacancy

If your test fails — we provide shock chlorination & retesting.

GIS Mapping documents:

• Well location

• Distance to home

• Distance to septic

• GPS coordinates

• Property layout

Several NC lenders and attorneys now use GIS mapping for underwriting clarity and recordkeeping.

How Long Are NC Water Test Results Valid?

Typical validity:

• 30–90 days depending on lender

• VA/FHA often limit to 30–60 days

• USDA varies by county

If closing moves, you may need a retest.
