If you're on a well, you're responsible for making sure your water is safe to drink. Municipal systems are tested regularly, but well water is only as clean as the last time you checked it. Changes in taste, odor, or color can signal contamination, but some problems are invisible without testing. Allied Water Services provides well water testing that checks for bacteria, minerals, and contaminants, giving you accurate results you can act on.

Testing includes collecting samples under sterile conditions and sending them to a certified lab for analysis. Results typically come back within a few days and include bacteria counts, hardness levels, and presence of metals or chemicals. If you're buying or selling a home, water testing is often required before closing.

If you need your well water tested for safety or planning a filtration system, reach out to schedule a sample collection.

Why Locals Choose This Option

When you schedule water testing, the technician will arrive with sterile bottles and follow the proper protocol to avoid contamination during collection. The sample is taken from a faucet close to the pressure tank to get an accurate representation of what's in the well. You'll receive a lab report within a few business days.

Once results are in, you'll know whether your water is safe and what treatment, if any, is needed. Allied Water Services can help you interpret the findings and recommend filtration or softening systems based on the results. Testing is required for real estate transactions and recommended annually for household safety.

The test looks for total coliform bacteria, E. coli, nitrates, iron, manganese, hardness, and pH. If you have concerns about specific contaminants like arsenic or lead, additional testing panels are available. This service does not include treatment system installation, but recommendations are provided if issues are found.

Water testing raises practical questions, especially if you've never had your well tested before or don't know what the results mean.

Why does my water smell like sulfur?
A sulfur smell usually indicates hydrogen sulfide gas in the water, which can come from decaying organic matter or certain types of bacteria. Testing confirms the cause.

What happens if bacteria is found in the test?
If bacteria is detected, the well can be shocked with chlorine to disinfect it. A follow-up test is required to confirm the treatment worked.
