💧Buying a Home with a Private Well in Fairbanks? Which Water Test Do You Need?

❓Did you know that not all water tests are the same?

If you’re buying a home with a private well, here’s a quick guide to the most common tests and what they look for:

🦠 1. Bacteria Test (Total Coliform & E. coli)
✔️ Usually the minimum test required by many lenders.
✔️ Checks for bacteria that could indicate contamination from surface water or septic systems.

🧪 2. Arsenic Test
✔️ One of the most important tests in the Fairbanks area.
✔️ Naturally occurring arsenic has been found in some local groundwater, especially in certain hillside areas. (Alaska DEC⁠)

🌱 3. Nitrate/Nitrite Test
✔️ Detects contamination that can come from fertilizers, septic systems, or naturally occurring sources.
✔️ Especially important for homes with infants or pregnant occupants. (Alaska DEC⁠)

⚙️ 4. General Water Quality Panel
This can include:
• Iron
• Manganese
• Hardness
• pH
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

These items usually affect the taste, odor, staining, and plumbing, rather than safety, but they can impact future maintenance and treatment needs. (Ak Water Labs⁠)

🧬 5. Expanded Testing (When Appropriate)
Depending on the property’s location and history, buyers may also consider testing for:
• Lead
• Copper
• VOCs (fuel or industrial contaminants)
• Radon in water (for certain areas)

🏡 Bottom Line:
A “passed” bacteria test doesn’t necessarily mean the water is free of other contaminants. In the Fairbanks area, many buyers choose to add arsenic and nitrate testing for extra peace of mind.

Thinking about buying a home with a well? We’d be happy to help you understand which tests make sense for your property and what the results mean.
