Water Testing Services in Mid Michigan

Furgeson Inspections provides professional water testing services for home buyers and homeowners throughout Mid Michigan. Many homes in rural areas rely on private wells for drinking water, and lenders often require water testing during real estate transactions.

Water testing helps determine whether the water supply meets safety standards and loan requirements before a home purchase is completed.

Water Testing for Loan Requirements

Certain mortgage programs require water quality testing when a property relies on a private well. These requirements help ensure the water supply is safe for consumption.

Furgeson Inspections provides water testing commonly requested for loan programs such as:

  • FHA loans

  • VA loans

  • USDA loans

  • Conventional loan requirements when requested

These tests are often required before closing when purchasing a home with a private well.

Types of Water Tests We Offer

Our water testing services focus on the most common contaminants required by lenders and health guidelines.

Testing may include:

Bacteria Testing

Bacteria testing checks for the presence of coliform bacteria and E. coli, which may indicate contamination in the water supply.

Lead Testing

Lead testing helps determine whether lead may be present in the drinking water.

Nitrate and Nitrite Testing

Nitrates and nitrites can enter groundwater from fertilizers, septic systems, or agricultural runoff. Elevated levels may pose health concerns, especially for infants and young children.

Why Water Testing Is Important

Private wells are not regulated in the same way as municipal water systems. Because of this, homeowners are responsible for ensuring their water supply is safe.

Water testing helps identify potential contamination issues before a home purchase is completed and can provide valuable peace of mind for buyers.

Water Testing During Real Estate Transactions

Water testing is commonly performed during the home inspection period when a property relies on a private well. Buyers and lenders want to verify that the water supply meets acceptable standards.

Furgeson Inspections works with buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals to collect water samples and submit them for laboratory analysis.
