Well Water Disinfection & Chlorination

Well water disinfection and chlorination are often required when bacteriological testing indicates the presence of Total Coliform or E. coli, or when a lender requests corrective action before closing. This service is performed to address bacteria issues identified during real estate well water testing and to support re-testing for underwriting review.

Disinfection is completed using accepted field practices designed to treat the well, plumbing system, and pressure components as applicable. After the required contact time, the system is flushed in preparation for follow-up sampling when requested. Disinfection alone does not guarantee passing results; re-testing is required to document current water conditions.

This service is intended for real estate transactions, not routine maintenance or long-term water treatment. It is commonly coordinated with real estate agents, lenders, and closing attorneys to support inspection timelines and underwriting requirements.

Results and system conditions reflect the time of service only. Well disinfection and chlorination may be required as part of comprehensive real estate well water testing in North Carolina when bacteria issues are identified.
