Milwaukee County Well & Septic Inspection Services
Unbiased Private System Evaluations in Milwaukee County
While much of Milwaukee County is served by municipal lake water and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), thousands of properties, particularly in the outlying villages and semi-rural pockets, rely on Private wells and Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (POWTS). Whether you are buying a secluded estate in River Hills, a farmhouse in Franklin, or a property in the unsewered areas of Oak Creek or Bayside, Guardian Well & Septic provides the professional, unbiased inspection services you need to protect your investment.

Our Milwaukee County Services
Well Inspections & Water Testing
Wisconsin DNR Form 3300-221 is required for most property transfers involving a private well. We conduct a thorough visual inspection of the well head, pressure tank, and all associated components. To ensure your water is safe, we also offer comprehensive lab testing for common regional contaminants, including Bacteria (Coliform/E. coli), Nitrates, Arsenic, Lead, and Fluoride.
Septic (POWTS) Inspections
If your property isn’t hooked up to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), you likely rely on a septic system. Milwaukee County requires these systems to be maintained and inspected regularly to prevent groundwater contamination. Our experts are certified to inspect all varieties of private systems, including Conventional In-Ground, Mound, and At-Grade systems, as well as holding tanks.
Property Transfer Inspections
For Realtors and home buyers in Milwaukee County, a standard home inspection often isn't enough to satisfy lender requirements. Most financial institutions require a specialized well and septic letter before a loan can be approved. We provide the specific, detailed documentation needed to clear these contingencies and move toward a smooth, on-time closing.
Milwaukee County Communities Served:
We provide comprehensive well and septic services throughout the county, specifically focusing on communities with significant private infrastructure. This includes property owners in River Hills, Franklin, Oak Creek, Bayside, Fox Point, Hales Corners, and the unsewered pockets of Greenfield.
