Private Water Well
If your property relies on a private water well, a thorough inspection ensures your water supply is safe, adequate, and mechanically sound — protecting your family's health and your investment.
Private Water Well
A private water well inspection evaluates the well system's mechanical components and water quality. I assess the wellhead, pump, pressure tank, and visible piping, measure flow rate and yield, and collect water samples for independent laboratory analysis.
Water quality is verified for bacteria (coliform), nitrates, and other common contaminants. If issues are found, I provide guidance on treatment options like shock chlorination and can perform a re-test once the system is flushed.
What I Inspect
Wellhead & Components
Visible wellhead, casing, cap, and sanitary seals checked for integrity.
Pump & Pressure Tank
Pump operation and pressure tank function evaluated for proper cycling.
Flow Rate & Yield
Flow testing to confirm the well delivers adequate water for the household.
Water Quality Sampling
Samples collected for lab analysis of bacteria, nitrates, and common contaminants.
Treatment Guidance
If bacteria is found, guidance on shock chlorination and re-testing provided.
EPA-Recommended
Annual well check-ups recommended for mechanical integrity and water safety.
