Tests on the state list
This list does not break certification down by analyte. Ask the lab which tests it is certified for; the groups as written on the list are below.
Groups as written on the state list (1)
- Chemical monitoring (the list does not name the chemical groups; 'Not all labs are certified for all groups of chemicals')
- Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
- Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
- Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
- Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').
On Georgia EPD's chemical lab list (January 9, 2025). EPD's chemical list does not say which chemical groups the lab is certified for; ask the lab.
Also certified by other states
Same business (same street address and ZIP) on another state's official list. Each state certifies separately, so each listing keeps its own source.

Nearest labs that take homeowner samples
No other lab that takes homeowner samples is within 25 miles of this lab; the nearest is 50 miles away. 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: Gwinnett County, GA
- Private wells: about 0 people, 0% of Gwinnett County’s 895,823 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 157 of 159 counties in Georgia by people on wells.
- 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 172 private-well users (95% range 126 to 234; 2010 base), rank 61 of 159 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 14% of 340,962 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 31%. 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): 5 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 1 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 Georgia certification program.
