Well Water Testing & Evaluation
What Is a Well Water Test?
A well water test evaluates both the safety of the water and the performance of the well supplying the home. Unlike municipal water systems, private wells are not continuously monitored, so testing provides direct confirmation of current conditions.
The process typically includes laboratory analysis of water samples for bacteria and chemical contaminants along with a production evaluation that measures flow rate, pressure behavior, and recovery after sustained use. Together, these results help buyers and homeowners understand whether the water is suitable for daily use and whether the well can reliably meet household demand.
Because water clarity, taste, and seller disclosures cannot confirm water quality or supply capacity, testing provides objective information before purchasing, occupying, or relying on a private well.
Why Test Your Well Water?
Many Colorado homes rely on private wells. Unlike municipal water systems, private wells are not regularly tested unless the homeowner or buyer takes action. Testing is important to:
• Detect harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Total Coliform
• Identify minerals and metals common in Colorado groundwater, including arsenic and uranium
• Verify that the well produces sufficient water for household use
• Support real estate disclosure and due diligence requirements
Water quality and well performance can change over time due to seasonal variation, aging systems, nearby land use, or environmental factors. Testing provides a snapshot of current conditions to support informed decision-making.
Our Well Testing Services
We provide certified water sampling and professional well inspections designed specifically for Colorado groundwater conditions. Services are ideal for homebuyers, sellers, and homeowners with older or unknown well systems.
How Well Testing Varies by Property Type
Well systems differ significantly across the Denver foothills and acreage communities.
While the testing process is similar, water production, treatment needs, and buyer concerns vary depending on location and property characteristics.

• A preliminary report may be provided before radiation results are finalized if needed
Important Notes
Well testing reflects conditions at the time of inspection only.
Groundwater quality and well yield can vary seasonally.
No guarantee of future water quality or production is implied.
Subsurface camera inspection is not included.
