A certified water test gives buyers, sellers, lenders, and real estate agents a clear picture of a property’s water quality. Whether it’s municipal or well water, testing helps identify potential contaminants, ensures the property meets local and lender requirements, and protects home buyers from costly issues after move-in.

Our team works closely with agents, homeowners, buyers, and more to deliver fast, accurate results for both residential and commercial properties.

Water Testing for Home Buyers & Sellers
Even if a property’s water system produces clear, particle-free water, it may contain microscopic contaminants. Common water problems like hard minerals, bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals can affect your water’s potability and damage your plumbing and appliances.
Water testing is the initial and most crucial step in our service process. Accurate test results are essential for understanding your water quality and determining the most effective treatment plan.
Our comprehensive real estate testing services will tell you if a property’s water contains:
- Bacteria (Coliform, E. Coli, etc.)
- Nitrates/nitrites
- Heavy metals, including lead and copper
- Pesticides
- Radon
- Sediment
Whether you’re preparing to list a home or evaluating a property, Atlantic Blue Water Services provides precise, timely testing.
Water Treatment Options
Following comprehensive testing, we recommend the best water treatment systems for your property. Our professionals can implement strategies that reduce and remove contaminants by using high-quality, customized equipment and advanced technology.
We install many treatment and filtration systems, including:
- Water softeners
- Reverse osmosis (RO)
- Activated carbon filters
- Backwashing filters
- UV water treatment systems
- Acid neutralizers
- Specialty filters
- And more
All of our equipment can remove large amounts of waterborne contaminants, resulting in potable water across your property.
Plumbing Equipment Maintenance & Repairs
Like your water source, your plumbing system can also play a role in potential contamination. Our real estate water evaluations look at your full water system. This allows our professionals to identify and replace or repair any components that may affect your water output or quality, such as:
- Pipe systems
- Well pumps
- Pressure tanks
- Well caps
- Water heaters
- Faucets, showers, and other plumbing fixtures/equipment
When you need reliable plumbing services from trained professionals, Atlantic Blue is here to help. From commercial well pump replacement to emergency plumbing repairs, our team can maintain your water supply.
Meeting Real Estate Approval Requirements
Many real estate agents in Maryland come to Atlantic Blue for water quality reports that prove a property meets specific requirements. At the end of our evaluation, we will provide you with documentation that shows the property’s water quality and water system meet guidelines associated with:
- Loans and transfers: Buyers applying for FHA, HUD, VA, and other loan programs often need verified real estate water testing. This is to prove the property’s water is potable and compliant. We provide lenders with clear, accurate results to support a smooth approval process.
- Environmental regulations: Federal laws such as the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulate water quality and public drinking water systems nationwide. Certain facilities or activities on a property may require National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting or other permits, depending on how they discharge or supply water. Our testing identifies any issues that may affect compliance and outlines recommended next steps.
- Use and occupancy approvals: Whether a buyer is applying for a unit occupancy permit or the organization has certain internal standards for properties, Atlantic Blue will complete a thorough investigation. If repairs or treatments are necessary, we guide you through the process to ensure the property meets all requirements.
It should be noted that in Maryland, sellers are required to schedule state-certified laboratory testing as a condition of sale for real property that has a private or domestic water supply well.
Settlement cannot happen until both the buyer and seller have received and reviewed the test results. (However, the buyer can waive testing in writing.) Atlantic Blue Water Services works directly with state-certified labs to ensure accurate well water testing for real estate.
