Water Testing for Mortgages, Refinances and Real Estate Transactions

When a Connecticut property is served by a private well, water testing may be requested as part of a home purchase, mortgage, refinance or other real estate transaction.

Connecticut Testing Specialists works with homeowners, buyers, sellers, Realtors, mortgage brokers, lenders, attorneys and other real estate professionals to coordinate private well water testing in CT.

We provide water testing for a variety of real estate and lending situations, including:

• Home purchases
• Home sales
• Mortgage requirements
• Mortgage refinances
• FHA loans and FHA mortgages
• VA loans and VA mortgages
• USDA loans
• Conventional mortgages
• Buyer-requested water testing
• Lender-requested water testing
• Private well evaluations
• New construction
• New wells

Testing requirements can vary depending on the lender, loan program, property and individual transaction. If your lender, mortgage company or underwriter has provided specific instructions, simply send them to us when scheduling.

We can review the requested testing and help you determine what needs to be scheduled before the appointment.

FHA, VA, USDA and Refinance Water Testing in Connecticut

A mortgage or refinance already involves enough paperwork, deadlines and appointments. Your water testing should be the easy part.

We coordinate water testing in Connecticut for FHA, VA, USDA, refinance and mortgage transactions and can work from the testing requirements supplied by your lender or mortgage professional.

Our goal is to help you understand what has been requested, schedule your appointment conveniently and keep the water testing portion of your transaction moving.

Private Well Water Testing in CT

You do not need to be buying or selling a property to have your well water tested.

Homeowners throughout Connecticut request private well water testing for many reasons, including general water quality concerns, changes in taste or odor, staining, discoloration, suspected contamination, treatment system evaluation or simply wanting to know more about the water their family is using.

Water testing can also provide useful baseline information before installing, modifying or troubleshooting a water treatment system.

Water Potability Testing in Connecticut

A water potability test evaluates important drinking water quality parameters and may be requested for private wells, mortgages, refinances, home purchases, licensing requirements, new construction or general water quality evaluation.

Connecticut Testing Specialists provides professional water potability testing in CT for residential, commercial and institutional properties.

Potability testing may be appropriate when you are:

• Purchasing a home with a private well
• Refinancing a property
• Completing lender-requested water testing
• Evaluating an existing private well
• Testing a newly drilled well
• Investigating changes in water quality
• Establishing baseline water quality
• Evaluating a water treatment system
• Completing licensing or compliance requirements

New Well Water Potability Testing in CT

A newly drilled private well may require a more comprehensive water quality evaluation than a basic potability analysis.

Our new well water potability testing includes the basic water potability testing along with additional laboratory analysis for:

• Arsenic
• Uranium
• Lead

This additional testing provides important information about the water quality of a new private well and creates useful baseline documentation for the property.

If your town, building department, health department, lender or other organization has provided specific testing requirements for a new well, send those instructions to us when scheduling so we can review the requested analysis.

Day Care and Child Care Water Testing in Connecticut

If you operate a day care or child care facility in Connecticut, water testing may be part of your licensing, health and safety or continuing compliance requirements.

We understand that running a child care facility leaves little time for tracking down laboratories, determining what bottles are needed or figuring out how samples must be collected.

Connecticut Testing Specialists can coordinate your day care water testing and child care water testing in CT, collect the appropriate samples and arrange laboratory analysis.

If you have paperwork listing specific testing parameters or a required testing schedule, send it to us when scheduling and we can work from those requirements.

School Water Testing in CT

Connecticut Testing Specialists provides water testing for schools, educational facilities and institutional properties throughout Connecticut.

Testing may be needed for drinking water quality evaluation, facility management, health and safety requirements, baseline documentation or recurring compliance programs.

Sampling can be coordinated for individual locations, multiple fixtures or recurring testing programs depending upon the needs of the school or facility.

Cottage Food License Water Testing in Connecticut

Starting a home-based food business involves enough details. Figuring out the water testing portion of your Connecticut cottage food license should not be difficult.

If your home is served by a private well and water testing is requested as part of your cottage food licensing process, Connecticut Testing Specialists can collect the samples and coordinate the required laboratory testing.

We provide water testing for cottage food license requirements in CT and can work from the testing instructions or paperwork you have received.

Food License and Food Facility Water Testing

Water quality testing may also be requested for other food-related businesses and facilities operating on private water supplies.

Whether you are applying for a food license, opening a new food operation or maintaining an existing facility, we can coordinate the water testing requested for your application, inspection or continuing compliance requirements.

If the licensing authority has provided a list of required parameters, send it to us. You do not need to determine the laboratory analysis on your own.

Are you seeing staining, deposits or discoloration? Has the taste or smell of your water changed? Is your treatment equipment not performing the way you expected?

You may have received an email from a lender, a licensing form, a request from a municipality or simply noticed that something about your water has changed.
