Water testing is essential for every real estate transaction. It informs potential buyers, lenders and local governments of the quality of water running through the property and identifies any areas of concern to be addressed prior to the property’s occupation.
Atlantic Blue Water Services prides itself on being Maryland’s choice for commercial and residential water testing and treatment. Explore our real estate water testing services.
Water Testing
Even if the property’s water system produces clear-looking, particle-free water, there may be microscopic bacteria and contaminants that make it unsafe for use. Our water testing protocol is the first thing we do at most of our appointments, as it tells us where your water stands and determines our treatment path moving forward.
Our comprehensive testing services will inform you if we find the presence of:
- Bacteria (Coliform, E. Coli, etc.)
- Nitrates or nitrites
- Heavy metals, including lead and copper
- Pesticides
- Radon
- Sediment
Water Treatment
Following our water test, we are able to identify what filters and systems are needed to provide your property with clean water. Our professionals can identify sources of contamination and implement strategies that remove chemicals from the water or eliminate the contaminant entirely.
Our water treatment procedures ensure maximum safety in your water supply system, promoting crystal clear, pathogen-free streams from every faucet. We don’t rely on harsh chemicals — instead, we utilize filtration systems like carbon, reverse osmosis and backwashing. All our processes can remove significant amounts of hazardous materials, resulting in usable, drinkable water throughout the entire property.
Equipment Assessment and Repairs
The health of your real estate’s water is our top priority and the equipment it runs through plays as much of a role in potential contaminants as the water’s source does. Our evaluations will also look at your full water system, allowing us to identify, replace or repair any concerns related to your:
- Water pumps
- Pressure tanks
- Well caps
- Pipe systems
- Faucets, showers and other plumbing
Meet Your Approval Requirements
Many real estate agents in Maryland come to Atlantic Blue Water Services to receive quality reports that prove the property meets specific requirements. At the end of our evaluation, we will provide you with documentation to show the property’s water system and quality meet guidelines associated with:
- Loans and transfers: If the person or organization purchasing the home is applying for certain loans or undergoing certain testing, a document confirming clean water may be necessary for approval. We’ve worked with people applying for FHA, HUD and VA loans, ensuring the loan approval team has all the information they need to make an informed decision.
- Environmental regulations: Every U.S. property also needs to meet federal regulations, including the Clean Water Act (CWA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
- Use and occupancy approvals: Whether the buyer is applying for a unit occupancy permit or the organization has certain internal standards their property needs to meet, Atlantic Blue Water Services will complete a thorough investigation and assist you in any repairs or projects necessary to get your property up to standard.
