Well Water Testing (Full Panel) in Orange County, CA
Private wells aren’t regulated like city systems—you’re the water utility. Our well water testing (full panel) captures the big picture: bacteria, metals, nitrate/nitrite, pH/alkalinity/hardness/TDS, and optional VOCs, pesticides, radon/uranium, and PFAS—with chain-of-custody and a clear treatment plan.
✓ Comprehensive panel: core health & corrosion indicators
✓ Accredited lab: defensible, low-detection results
✓ Clear report: easy thresholds and tap map
✓ Action plan: treatment + re-test cadence

What Is Well Water Testing (Full Panel)?
A structured program for private wells that typically includes:
Microbiological: Total coliform & E. coli (presence/absence or MPN).
Metals/minerals: Lead, copper, arsenic, iron, manganese, plus others as needed.
Inorganics: Nitrate/nitrite, fluoride, sulfate, chloride.
Physical/chemical: pH, alkalinity, hardness, TDS, turbidity.
Optional regionals: VOCs/SVOCs, pesticides, radon/uranium, PFAS (where applicable).
We collect raw well and at-the-tap samples to separate source quality from in-home plumbing or treatment effects.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Correct first-draw/flush sequences, sterile technique, temperature control, and chain-of-custody.
Defensible documentation: Tap map, photos, lab certificates, and a plain-English summary against local/EPA guidance.
Beyond testing: We design and install UV, softening, RO, iron/manganese removal, nitrate and arsenic systems, and set service/verification schedules.
One accountable team: From sampling to remediation and confirmation testing—one partner.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Don’t shock-chlorinate or change filters right before sampling.
List sample points (raw well, kitchen tap, post-treatment).
Note recent work (pump/plumbing) and any odors or staining.
Gather system details (softener, carbon, RO, UV).
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll schedule sterile, lab-ready sampling.
Common Situations We Handle
New home purchase or refinance requiring proof of potability
After storms, droughts, or pump/plumbing work
Taste/odor, staining, or scale complaints
Infant formula (nitrate focus) or immunocompromised households
Annual well checkups and post-treatment verification
Site Walk & Plan
Map well head, pressure tank, treatment gear; choose raw and tap sample points and panel scope.
Sampling Prep
Set first-draw vs. flush order (metals vs. bacteria), label bottles, prep sterile gear, and stabilize flows.
Collect Samples
Take sterile bacteria samples (with thiosulfate if chlorinated), then inorganics/metals; preserve and chill on ice; complete chain-of-custody.
Accredited Lab Analysis
Courier to an accredited laboratory for the selected panel; add region-specific tests as indicated.
Results & Interpretation
Deliver a plain-English report: numbers by tap, thresholds/flags, likely sources (aquifer vs. plumbing), and immediate precautions if needed.
Treatment Plan & Re-Testing
Recommend UV/RO/softening/iron-manganese/nitrate/arsenic solutions, schedule install/service, and confirm performance with re-tests.
What’s Included
Raw well + tap sampling with chain-of-custody
Core panel (bacteria, metals, nitrate/nitrite, pH/alkalinity/hardness/TDS)
Optional add-ons (VOCs, pesticides, radon/uranium, PFAS)
Tap map & photos with sample conditions
Results summary with guidance comparison and priorities
Remediation & verification plan (timeline and costs outlined)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 30–90 minutes on site; lab turnaround depends on panel (standard or rush).
Cost drivers: Number of taps, size of panel (core vs. expanded), rush analysis, and follow-up verification tests.
Clear estimate: Line items for sampling, lab fees, report, and remediation—no surprises.
Insurance & Compliance Support
Real-estate/PM packets: Lab certificates, chain-of-custody, and pass/fail tables.
Local/EPA alignment: Results framed against current guidance; records kept for annual comparisons.
Grant/rebate help: We’ll package findings and scopes for applicable programs.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Undetected bacteria or nitrates at consumption taps
Arsenic/metal exposure or corrosion damage
Appliance failures from iron, manganese, hardness, or low pH
Emergency fixes vs. planned, cost-effective upgrades
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Sterile bottles & preservatives, chilled transport, method holding times
Correct sequences: First-draw for metals, flush/sterile for bacteria, pre/post-treatment comparisons
Quality controls: Chain-of-custody, duplicates/field blanks for multi-tap projects
Treatment best practices: Right-sized UV, RO, softening, iron/manganese filters, anion exchange, with post-install verification
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I test a well?
At least annually, and after repairs, floods, or seasonal changes.
Do hot or cold taps matter?
Sample cold drinking taps; hot can be used diagnostically if corrosion or odor persists.
Will a softener fix everything?
No. Softeners target hardness/iron (some cases). UV addresses bacteria; RO targets dissolved contaminants; specialty media handle arsenic, nitrate, manganese, etc.
Can you prove my treatment works?
Yes—pre/post sampling and scheduled verification tests are part of our plan.
Is this medical advice?
No—this is water testing and treatment guidance. Consult a clinician for health questions.
