Step 1
Set the property context
Enter the ZIP, pick home purchase or move-in, and note anything unusual such as staining, odor, flooding, or an old test year.

Buying a house with a private well: what to test first
WellWise Finder gives buyers and move-in households a state-aware checklist, clearer lab-path guidance, and plain-English next steps before anyone has to guess what counts as documentation-grade.
PA, NJ, NC, MI, and WI buyers today. Other U.S. ZIPs still get a national fallback with official-source handoff.
What this page optimizes for
Deal-safe first step
Official lab paths are kept visibly separate from retail orientation kits when documentation might affect inspections, lenders, or negotiations.
Calm handoff
The plan comes before installers, affiliates, or any treatment conversation.
Shareable output
You can print, copy, or forward a checklist that keeps the source links and disclaimers attached.
Step 2
Get the initial analyte list
The move-in flow keeps bacteria, nitrate, lead, and arsenic highly visible, then layers state-specific notes where the pilot states support it.
Step 3
Choose the right testing path
Move from the checklist into official directories or vetted mail-in options only after you know which path fits the transaction risk.
Why this converts better
It matches the exact moment of urgency
- For buyers: know what to test before the inspection window narrows.
- For sellers: avoid paying for the wrong kit when official lab documentation matters.
- For agents and inspectors: share a neutral next-step guide instead of improvising water advice.
Proof of seriousness
Visible boundaries before anyone acts on the result
Use documentation-grade testing rather than a retail screen when the result could affect a transaction or lender review.
That language now shows up in the product flow itself, not just inside research notes.
