Comprehensive water quality testing and GPM flow assessments for homeowners, buyers, and lenders.
A flow test measures how many gallons per minute (GPM) your well can consistently produce. This is essential for real estate transactions, new construction, and understanding your well's capacity.
We run your well continuously for 4 hours while measuring the flow rate at regular intervals. We record the GPM output and track any changes in flow, which gives a reliable picture of your well's sustained capacity.
After the test, you receive a detailed written report showing GPM measurements throughout the 4-hour period. This report is accepted by lenders, real estate agents, and inspectors across the Spokane area.
Knowing what's in your water matters. We collect samples from your well and send them to certified labs for thorough analysis.
The most common and most important test. Detects harmful bacteria that can cause illness. Required for most real estate transactions.
Common in agricultural areas. High levels are dangerous, especially for infants. Standard requirement for home sales.
Naturally occurring in some Spokane-area wells. Lab testing determines if levels are within safe limits.
Comprehensive testing including pH, hardness, iron, manganese, and other parameters. Recommended for new well owners.
Buying or selling a home with a well? We handle all the testing your transaction needs:
Call us with the property address and loan type. We'll coordinate timing with your closing schedule — we know deadlines matter.
We visit the property, conduct the flow test, and collect water samples. The well system gets a visual inspection too.
Water samples go to a state-certified lab. Results typically come back within 5-7 business days.
You get a complete report package ready for your lender, including flow test results and lab analysis certificates.
Different loan programs have different requirements. Here's what you need to know:
FHA requires a water quality test (bacteria and nitrates at minimum) and sufficient flow for the property. The well must meet FHA distance requirements from septic systems and property lines.
VA loans require water potability testing and may require a flow test depending on the appraiser's assessment. We provide VA-compliant testing packages.
USDA rural development loans require both water quality testing and a flow test. The well must demonstrate adequate capacity for the home. We handle USDA-compliant testing regularly.
Requirements vary by lender, but most want at least a bacteria test. Your real estate agent or lender will let you know — and we can do whatever's needed.
