Pennsylvania does not test your well. We will.

Free Well Water Testing in the Poconos

Most Pocono homes sit on private wells that no state program watches. The water is often naturally soft — and often acidic enough to work on copper plumbing. A free in-home test reads pH, iron, hardness, chlorine, and TDS at your kitchen tap and tells you whether you need a neutralizer, an iron filter, UV, or nothing at all.

Stroudsburg-area shale wells, Mount Pocono plateau homes, Tannersville rentals, Wayne County township wells — same region, different readings. Hardness is usually not the headline up here; pH is. We will not arrive with a Lehigh Valley softener pitch. Seasonal homes get the same panel with a stagnation conversation.

Why NEPA homeowners choose this system

Well-first panel

pH and iron sit next to hardness — because shale country is not limestone country.

Frequently asked questions

Is well testing in the Poconos really free?
The in-home panel is free: hardness, pH, iron, chlorine, TDS, explained on the spot. Certified lab work for bacteria, lead, or PFAS is a separate, optional step we will not surprise you with.
How often should a Pocono well be tested?
At least yearly for coliform bacteria — Penn State Extension and PA DEP’s baseline — because nobody else is required to watch a private well in Pennsylvania.
Do I need a softener up here?
Usually no. Shale and sandstone wells tend to run soft. Acidity is the more common find. We measure hardness so the wrong box does not get sold.
We only use the house on weekends.
Still test. Stagnation has its own symptoms, and guests notice water first. We design around idle weeks when treatment is needed.
