PFAS Water Testing Services
4 licensed providers across 4 counties
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as forever chemicals, are a growing concern for private well owners across the United States. Professional PFAS water testing detects these synthetic chemicals at parts-per-trillion levels, helping homeowners understand their exposure risk and take action to protect their families.
PFAS contamination has been discovered in water systems across the country, affecting millions of residents near industrial sites, military bases, and airports. The EPA's 2024 drinking water standards set maximum contaminant levels for six PFAS compounds, making testing more important than ever.
Certified laboratories use EPA Method 533 or 537.1 to test for dozens of PFAS compounds simultaneously. Results typically take 2-3 weeks and include detailed reporting of each compound detected. If PFAS are found above advisory levels, treatment options include granular activated carbon filtration, ion exchange systems, and reverse osmosis.

PFAS Water Testing — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PFAS water testing cost?
- A certified PFAS panel typically costs $250–$450, higher than a standard well test because PFAS analysis requires specialized lab methods capable of detecting compounds at parts-per-trillion levels.
How often should I test my well for PFAS?
- Testing every 2–3 years is reasonable for most private wells, but test sooner if you're near a known industrial site, military base, or airport, or if a neighboring well has tested positive for PFAS.
What's involved in PFAS water testing?
- A technician collects a water sample using strict PFAS-free protocols to avoid contamination, then sends it to a certified lab using EPA Method 533 or 537.1. Results typically take 2–3 weeks.
What do I do if PFAS are found in my well water?
- If levels exceed EPA advisory limits, treatment options include granular activated carbon filtration, ion exchange systems, and reverse osmosis. A water treatment provider can recommend the right system based on your results.
Do I need a certified lab for PFAS testing?
- Yes. PFAS testing requires specialized equipment and strict contamination controls that only certified labs can guarantee. Results from a certified lab are also what's typically required for any regulatory or legal follow-up.
