The New Well / Real Estate Baseline is our most comprehensive option, pairing the expanded Level 2 drinking-water panel with a bacteria screen. It is built for two situations where you want a thorough, documented snapshot of water quality: a newly drilled or newly purchased well, and a real-estate transaction where the buyer, seller, or lender needs a credible water-quality record. The Level 2 panel goes well beyond the basics, covering a wider range of metals, minerals, and chemistry, so you establish a true baseline you can compare against in future years and rely on during a sale.
What it tests for
- Total coliform bacteria and E. coli
- Expanded metals panel (including common health-relevant metals)
- Full drinking-water chemistry and mineral profile
- A documented baseline suitable for real-estate and lender records
Why it matters
When you take on a new well or buy a home, you inherit whatever is in the water - with no history to compare against. A comprehensive Level 2 baseline establishes that history: it documents exactly what is present today, satisfies real-estate and lender requirements, and gives you a reference point so any future change is easy to spot. Testing once at this depth is far cheaper than discovering a problem after closing.
Who it is for: Best for newly drilled wells, recently purchased homes on a private well, and real-estate transactions that call for a documented water-quality report. Also a smart periodic deep-dive every few years even on an established well.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do I need a comprehensive test for a real-estate sale?
- A home sale or new mortgage on a private-well property often requires a documented water-quality report. The Level 2 baseline provides a thorough, lab-certified record covering bacteria, metals, and chemistry - the kind of documentation buyers, sellers, and lenders rely on.
- I just had a new well drilled. Is this the test to run?
- Yes. A new well has no testing history, so a comprehensive baseline is the right first test. It documents exactly what is in your water from day one and becomes the reference point for every future test.
- How is this different from the Annual Well Safety Check?
- The Annual Well Safety Check uses the Level 1 panel and is designed for routine yearly monitoring. The New Well / Real Estate Baseline uses the broader Level 2 panel for a deeper, one-time snapshot - the right choice when you need a thorough baseline or formal documentation.
