Virginia Beach Water Testing

It's possible. Longer transit through multiple treatment and storage points gives more opportunity for water chemistry to shift before it reaches your tap. That's part of why we test at the point that matters most: your own faucet, not the source.

It depends on where you live. Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality found PFAS in the Pungo area during statewide testing, even though the city-wide report shows none. You can review the state's ongoing PFAS monitoring program directly, but our PFAS "forever chemical" drinking water test gives you an answer specific to your address.

Yes. Firefighting foam used historically at military installations is a well-documented PFAS source in nearby groundwater. If you're on a private well near any base in the area, PFAS should be part of your testing, not an afterthought.

Bacteria, nitrates, and metals are the essentials for any private well, and Virginia has no requirement that private wells be tested at all. Virginia Tech's Virginia Household Water Quality Program runs low-cost testing clinics around the state if you want a second, independent source of guidance. For a full lab-run panel specific to your property, our premium well water test covers 113 substances.

The premium city water test covers 108 substances, a solid starting point given the distance and number of hands this water passes through. For full coverage, including PFAS and VOCs, the ultimate city water test screens 244 substances.

Given the city's age and lead line prevalence, testing before closing is worth the cost on almost any pre-1986 property. Our home inspection testing gives buyers and sellers documented results ahead of the sale.
