Water Quality Testing


At Northeast Home Inspections, we care about the quality of water that you use in your home. That is why we have partnered with A & L Labs in Auburn, ME. They are the premier water testing laboratory in the state and with them we currently offer the following water tests:

  • Basic & Arsenic

  • Basic, Aresnic & Lead

  • Comprehensive


The water that comes out of the taps at your home is not necessarily safe for drinking. There are many substances present in the water that pose a threat to the health of you and your family members. EPA states that houses built before 1986 may have lead pipes and fixtures. This may contaminate the water coming from the taps. After the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, it has become a common practice to get water quality testing with private wells. There may be no problem with the water at your house, but it is always good to get it checked. This gives you peace of mind and a sense of confidence.
