Unlike municipal water systems, private wells don't come with built-in monitoring. A comprehensive inspection helps you:

• Verify the well's ability to provide safe, clean drinking water
• Detect mechanical or structural problems with well components
• Identify potential contamination risks
• Ensure compliance with local health and real estate regulations
• Avoid costly repairs or replacements down the line

Our certified inspectors assess both physical components and water quality to deliver a complete overview:

1. Well Head & Casing

• Inspection for cracks, openings, or improper sealing
• Location assessment (distance from septic, drainage, etc.)

• Ensuring it's secure, vermin-proof, and weather-tight

• Evaluating tank condition, pressure levels, and cycling

• Testing well pump operation and performance
• Assessing motor, wiring, and pump cycling

• Measuring gallons per minute (GPM)
• Observing how quickly the well recovers after use

• Testing for bacteria (like coliform & E. coli)
• Screening for nitrates, lead, arsenic, and other contaminants
