Private wells

Well water testing near you in NEPA

Pennsylvania does not regulate private wells the way it regulates city water. If you searched “well water testing near me,” you need someone who shows up at the house, tests at the tap, and explains what the numbers mean — not a mail-order kit that leaves you guessing. Veraco Water’s in-home well test is free for homeowners in our NEPA service area.

When to get a well tested

  • Buying or selling a home with a well
  • New stains, smells, or taste at the tap
  • Annual check — especially after a wet spring or dry summer
  • After work on the well, pump, or pressure tank
  • A prior coliform failure or boil-water notice nearby

What we check on the free visit

Hardness, iron, manganese indicators, pH (acidic shale wells are common in the Poconos), chlorine if any, TDS, and the practical stuff that decides whether you need a softener, acid neutralizer, iron filter, sulfur treatment — or nothing. See the full water testing page for the panel details.

Frequently asked questions

Is well water testing near me free?
Our standard in-home panel (hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, TDS, and related readings) is free for homeowners in the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, and Scranton / Wilkes-Barre area. Lab work for bacteria or contaminants beyond that panel is explained up front if you need it.
How is this different from a kit?
We test at your tap with calibrated equipment and walk you through the results in person. A strip kit tells you little about sizing treatment — and nothing about how your well behaves after a rain or a dry spell.
Do you test for bacteria?
Coliform / E. coli needs a certified lab sample. We can arrange that when your situation calls for it (new well, failed prior test, illness concerns) and explain the state guidance in plain English.
What towns do you cover?
Private wells across Monroe, Pike, Carbon, Northampton, Lehigh, Lackawanna, Luzerne, and neighboring counties we list on our service areas page. If you are on the edge, book anyway — we will confirm when we call.
