When was your well water last tested?
More than half of Maine households get their water from a private well — and no one is required to test it but you. Arsenic, bacteria, radon, and PFAS have no taste, smell, or color. This free 60-second checkup turns Maine CDC guidance into a plain-language testing plan for your situation.
No account. No address required. Your answers never leave this device. Privacy · What this is (and isn't)
- Annual bacteria + nitrate testing is what Maine CDC recommends for every private well
- 1 in 10 Maine wells has arsenic above the federal limit — you can't taste it
- 7 drop-off locations across Maine; most results the next business day
Why a checkup, and why a lab?
Area facts aren't your well
Public maps and town data describe an area. Neighboring wells drilled into the same bedrock can test completely differently. Only a properly collected sample from your tap can say what's in your water.
A "free water test" isn't a lab test
Free in-home screenings from treatment sellers typically check hardness and aesthetics — not arsenic, bacteria, radon, or PFAS — and they end in a sales pitch. An independent lab has no equipment to sell you.
Detection doesn't mean panic
Most findings have well-understood fixes. Testing is how you move from guessing to a plan. Chanalytical is an independent 3rd-party lab: fast, accurate, and not affiliated with any treatment company.
