Nearest labs that take homeowner samples
No other certified lab that takes homeowner samples lies within 150 miles of this lab; the nearest is 153 miles away, so ask labs whether they accept samples by mail. Distances are straight-line from the address on the state list (approx. = ZIP-code centre). “Takes homeowner samples” comes from a state list column or the lab’s own website, as named.

Around this lab: Bernalillo County, NM
- Private wells: about 11,663 people, 2% of Bernalillo County’s 676,685 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 10 of 33 counties in New Mexico by people on wells.
- At house sale: Statewide (NMED liquid waste rule) has a septic system rule (20.7.3.902 NMAC (evaluation at time of transfer); evaluator per 20.7.3.904(B)). What it requires
- EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 1: highest potential (average indoor radon may be greater than 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
- Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 2,491 private-well users (95% range 1,873 to 3,223; 2010 base), rank 4 of 33 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 47% of 302,746 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 43%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
- PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 8 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 0 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.
County figures describe where the lab is, not the lab. Sources: USGS 2015 water use and 2017 arsenic estimates, EPA radon zones, Census ACS table B25034 (2020–2024), EPA UCMR 5 (2023–2026); details and links on the sources page.
Before you send a sample
Call the lab to confirm it's currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Bacteria samples have short holding times. Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Texas certification program.
