What is a water quality test?
If you are selling a home with a well, then you most likely will need to have a water quality test done. A water quality test will check for harmful bacteria that could be present in the water as well as the level of other chemicals. The test is completed by a professional. If a high level of bacteria is discovered, then the water can be treated.
Why do I need a water quality test? I drink it everyday, and it’s fine.
Many sellers wonder why they need to have a test done when selling their homes especially when the seller has been using the well without issue. Just like a pest inspection, the water quality test is part of the home buying process. Many buyers’ lenders require a water quality test to be completed before they will finance the purchase.
A professional real estate agent will help to coordinate the buyers agent to schedule and complete the testing.
