Iron Clad Inspections · Well Water Testing
Well Water Testing Know what’s in your water.
Private wells generally aren’t covered by routine government water quality monitoring, so keeping the water safe is up to the homeowner. We collect samples the right way and send them to a certified laboratory. Standard testing $250, rush $300.

Even crystal-clear water can contain harmful contaminants.
Taste, smell, and appearance can’t tell you what’s in a private well. A certified laboratory can.
Why It Matters
Why test your well water?
Private wells are an important water source for many homes throughout Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Unlike municipal water systems, they’re generally not subject to routine government water quality monitoring.
-
You can’t see, smell, or taste it
Many water quality concerns can’t be detected by taste, smell, or appearance alone. Laboratory analysis is how you find out.
-
It’s on the homeowner
Private wells generally aren’t monitored by the government. Homeowners are responsible for making sure their drinking water is safe.
-
Agriculture and septic nearby
Agricultural activity and nearby septic systems can affect the groundwater your well draws from.
-
Natural minerals and conditions
Naturally occurring minerals and environmental conditions can change groundwater quality over time.
-
Is your treatment working?
We can sample directly from the well and after an existing filtration or treatment system to help evaluate how well it’s working.
-
Buying rural or building new
Purchasing a rural property, moving into a new home with a private well, or monitoring an existing supply? Testing gives you real answers.
