The VOC & Industrial Chemicals Check screens your well water for 60 volatile organic compounds - the solvents, degreasers, and fuel components that reach groundwater from industrial sites, dry cleaners, gas stations, leaking fuel tanks, and similar sources. VOCs are a leading concern near commercial and industrial activity, including the growing footprint of data centers and manufacturing. Some have a faint chemical or fuel odor, but many are undetectable without testing. This broad panel - covering compounds like benzene, TCE, and PCE - tells you whether industrial contamination has reached your water and at what level.
What it tests for
- A 60-compound volatile organic compound (VOC) panel
- Fuel components such as benzene (BTEX)
- Industrial solvents such as TCE and PCE
- Comparison against EPA drinking-water limits
Why it matters
Many VOCs are regulated in drinking water because of links to cancer and other serious health effects, and they can migrate underground from a contamination source far from your well. Because routine well testing does not include them and many are odorless, a dedicated VOC panel is the only way to rule out industrial contamination - and if VOCs are found, activated-carbon or aeration treatment can address them.
Who it is for: Best for wells near industrial sites, fuel stations, dry cleaners, landfills, or commercial development, and anyone who notices a chemical or fuel smell. A targeted choice when you are specifically worried about a nearby contamination source. Not part of a standard test.

Frequently asked questions
- What are VOCs and where do they come from?
- Volatile organic compounds are solvents, degreasers, and fuel components. They reach wells from industrial sites, dry cleaners, gas stations, leaking fuel tanks, and landfills, and can travel underground from a source some distance away.
- Should I test for VOCs near a data center or industrial site?
- It is a reasonable precaution. VOCs are a common form of industrial groundwater contamination, many are odorless, and standard well tests do not include them - so a dedicated panel is the way to rule them out.
- Can VOCs be treated?
- Yes. Activated-carbon filtration and aeration are both effective for most VOCs. Identify and address the contamination source where possible, and retest after treatment.
