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.

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.
