Radon or Uranium in water – $185 w/inspection* – a lab test for the PiC/L levels of radon in well water.
Well Flow Test – $175 w/ inspection*. Many homes rely on a well for its primary water supply. How much water a well produces can be as important as the quality of the water. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requires a flow rate of 3 to 5 gallons per minute for older wells and a rate of 5 gallons per minute for new wells to pass inspection. Our flow test can provide assurance that your well will meet that standard.
