Why Water Testing Matters in Savannah

Savannah’s low-lying coastal geography, aging infrastructure, and mix of municipal and private well systems create unique water quality challenges, including:

  • Saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers
  • Older plumbing systems in Savannah’s historic homes, which may contain lead or lead-soldered pipes
  • Private well contamination from agricultural runoff, bacteria, or naturally occurring minerals
  • Aging municipal infrastructure in older neighborhoods
  • High humidity and flooding risk, which can affect well integrity and water table quality

If you rely on well water, the EPA does not regulate or test it for you — that responsibility falls on the homeowner. Annual testing is the only way to know your water is safe.


What We Test For

Our comprehensive water testing panels are designed to catch the contaminants most relevant to Savannah homes and can include:

Category What It Detects
Bacteria Total coliform, E. coli
Heavy Metals Lead, arsenic, copper, mercury
Radon in Water Radioactive gas linked to elevated cancer risk
Nitrates & Nitrites Common in areas near farmland or septic systems
pH & Hardness Corrosivity, scale buildup, plumbing damage risk
Iron, Manganese & Sulfur Staining, odor, and taste issues
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) Industrial and chemical contamination
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Overall water quality and mineral content

Not sure which test you need? Our team will help you choose the right panel based on your water source, home age, and specific concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does water testing cost in Savannah, GA? Pricing depends on the scope of testing needed (bacteria-only vs. a full contaminant panel). Call (912) 785-8952 for a quote tailored to your property and situation.

How long does water testing take? On-site sample collection typically takes 15–30 minutes. Lab results are generally available within a few business days, though some panels (like bacteria) can take longer to culture.

Do I need water testing if I’m on city water? Yes. While municipal water is treated at the source, contamination can still occur inside your home’s plumbing — especially in older homes with lead pipes or solder.

Is well water testing required when selling a home in Georgia? Many lenders and buyers require well water testing as part of the closing process. We offer testing designed to meet real estate transaction timelines.

What do I do if my water tests positive for contaminants? Our team will walk you through your results and recommend appropriate filtration, treatment, or remediation options based on what’s found.

How often should I test my well water? The EPA and CDC recommend testing private wells at least once a year, and more often if you notice changes in taste, smell, or color.
