Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Service and Support I woke up this morning to zero water pressure and expected the worst. I called their service line, and instead of immediately scheduling a costly visit, the technician patiently walked me through a step‑by‑step troubleshooting process. With his guidance, I was able to isolate the issue and fix it myself — no service call needed. It’s rare to find a company that first ensures that the correct problem is identified before scheduling a service call. His professionalism and willingness to help saved me time, money, and a lot of stress. I couldn’t be more impressed. Highly recommended.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was having pressure issues. They walked me through some things on the phone and then came out on Saturday. -1 degree outside. Found a broken fitting by the well pump. Very reasonably priced and didn’t try to sell me a new pump that I didn’t need. I would call them anytime I have an issue. Thanks TLC

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend. They were able to troubleshoot the problem with the well over the phone on our initial call and patiently waited as I eventually did a temporary fix. On the service call to install a new tank and switch, they went above and beyond with an electrical issue, and even helped with a whole house water filter.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very impressed with TLC Well Service. They came out on a Sunday in freezing cold temperatures to replace my well pump. Very professional and personable. Went above and beyond expectations to solve my problem. They continued checking and exceeded expectations days after the job was done. I highly recommend TLC for any well service you need.

When to test private well water
Routine testing matters, and some changes should not wait
Testing can provide useful answers when the water changes, the well has been disturbed, or you simply need an up-to-date picture of water quality.
The water looks, smells, or tastes different
Cloudiness, sediment, staining, sulfur odor, metallic taste, or another new change deserves testing.
Floodwater reached the well area
Test after flooding or runoff may have entered or surrounded the wellhead.
The well or pump was repaired
Well, pump, piping, or other system work may create a need for disinfection and follow-up testing.
You are buying or selling a home
Current results and a physical well inspection can clarify water quality and equipment condition before closing.
A local or household concern has changed
A health department, laboratory, lender, or property condition may call for additional tests beyond an annual panel.
Test before choosing treatment
Water testing turns a vague concern into useful information
Odor, color, taste, and staining are clues, but they cannot identify every water-quality concern. A certified laboratory can test for substances that are not visible.
TLC helps connect the testing process with the well and treatment equipment. If results identify a concern, the next step may involve the health department, a system repair, well disinfection, filtration, purification, or follow-up testing. The right response depends on the result—not guesswork.
The Indiana Department of Health recommends at least annual private-well testing and using a certified drinking-water laboratory. Your local health department can help identify additional tests that fit local risks.

A useful testing process from sample to next step
-
Discuss the reason for testing
Share whether this is routine, tied to a water change, needed after well work, or part of a home purchase.
-
Choose the appropriate tests
Use certified-laboratory and health-department guidance to select the annual basics and any additional local or property-specific items.
-
Collect the sample correctly
Follow the laboratory’s bottle, faucet-preparation, timing, storage, and delivery instructions so the result is useful.
-
Respond to the results
TLC can help connect the findings to inspection, repair, disinfection, treatment, or retesting while health questions remain with the laboratory or health department.
The well and water quality are connected
Testing is strongest when the system is checked too
Pump problems, damaged connections, sediment, pressure changes, and treatment equipment can all affect what homeowners notice in their water.
Well water testing questions
Clear answers about testing your water
How often should private well water be tested?
The Indiana Department of Health recommends testing at least annually. It specifically recommends annual bacteria and nitrate testing, with additional testing based on risk, results, well work, and local guidance.
Can clear water still have a problem?
Yes. Some germs and chemicals cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. A certified laboratory test is the reliable way to check for them.
What should I test for every year?
Indiana recommends annual bacteria and nitrate testing. The CDC also recommends annual total coliform, nitrate, total dissolved solids, and pH testing. Ask a certified laboratory or local health department what else fits your property.
When should I test sooner than once a year?
Test after flooding, well or pump work, a positive result, or a sudden change in color, clarity, taste, or odor. Also follow any health-department or lender requirement.
Is water testing the same as a well inspection?
No. Testing evaluates the water sample. An inspection evaluates the physical well system, pump, pressure equipment, controls, and visible condition.
What happens if a test identifies a concern?
Follow the laboratory or health department’s safety guidance. TLC can then help with appropriate well repair, disinfection, treatment, purification, or follow-up testing.
