Lynchburg Well Water is a free referral service. We are not a water treatment contractor and do not perform installations. Requests are forwarded to independent, licensed local providers who are solely responsible for their work.
Know what you are requesting
A free in-home screening may include checks such as hardness, pH, or iron, depending on the provider. Do not assume that a certified bacteria test or a full laboratory panel is included. Ask which measurements are free and whether separate collection or laboratory fees apply. A screening is not a certificate that water is safe for every use. Virginia Tech guidance.
Submitting saves your request. When email is configured, an operator notification is attempted after saving; delivery is not guaranteed. It does not book an appointment or confirm receipt by an independent provider. Use the request form for non-urgent referral inquiries only. For an urgent health concern, contact an appropriate laboratory or health department.
What to gather before a provider visit
Write down when the problem began, whether it affects hot water, cold water, or both, and which taps are involved. Note any recent plumbing work, filter changes, flooding, or long periods when the home was unoccupied. Take photos of stains and equipment labels. Bring previous test reports, even if they look normal, and ask the provider to distinguish untreated well water from water already passing through treatment. This is a practical way to make the appointment specific to your home rather than a general equipment demonstration.
Ask which measurements are included in the free in-home screening and which require a separate laboratory sample. A screening for hardness, pH, or iron is not a certified bacteria report and does not establish that water is safe for every use. Request written results with units, sampling location, and collection date. For laboratory samples, follow the laboratory's bottle, handling, and delivery instructions rather than collecting water in a household container. Virginia Tech testing guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Does a free in-home screening prove my water is safe?
No. Confirm what the provider includes. A screening is not a substitute for certified laboratory bacteria testing or a complete assessment of all possible contaminants. Laboratory testing may have a separate charge. Virginia Tech guidance.
