FHA / VA Water Quality Testing
Water may look safe—but without testing, you're making a decision without knowing.
Clear Water Isn't Always Clean Water
Water can appear perfectly clean, taste fine, and have no odor, yet still contain dangerous contaminants. Testing is the only way to know what is actually in your water.
Some contaminants can impact your health over time without obvious signs.
Required for Many FHA & VA Loans
If the property is serviced by a private well, government-backed loans typically require specific water quality tests before the loan can be approved. We test for the exact parameters required by lenders:
- Coliform Bacteria
- E. Coli
- Nitrates & Nitrites
- Lead
*Our process is designed to keep your transaction moving—not slow it down.
The Reality of Georgia Well Water
Private well water in Georgia is not regulated by the EPA or local municipalities. The safety of your water is your responsibility entirely.
These contaminants cannot be seen or smelled.
Bacteria
Presence indicates possible sewage or environmental contamination in the water supply.
Nitrates
Common from agricultural runoff and fertilizers. Particularly harmful to infants and pregnant women.
Lead
A toxic metal that can leach from old plumbing fixtures, pipes, and solder.
Arsenic
A dangerous groundwater contaminant that occurs naturally in certain geological formations.
