About this test

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.
