Private Water Well Inspection

If your property relies on a private water well, I provide a thorough inspection to help you understand the condition, performance, and reliability of your well system. A private well is your home’s primary water source, and this inspection helps identify concerns that could affect safety, function, or long-term reliability.

Schedule Appointment

What Is Inspected

With specialized equipment, I run the water at the well and record the flow rate (GPM) and the gallons of water used. At the same time, I run 2 other faucets to check for water pressure, water flow and the performance of pressure switches. A coliform test is recommended for every well inspection. Proximity of any known septic system is reported. Avoid costly repairs and know how the well performs before you buy your next home.

Wellhead & Casing: I check that the wellhead is properly sealed, secure, and positioned to reduce the risk of surface contamination.
Pump & Pressure System: I evaluate pump operation, water flow, and pressure tank performance to help ensure consistent water delivery.
Plumbing & Distribution: I inspect visible components for leaks, corrosion, or damage that could affect water flow into the home.
Flow Rate & Yield: I assess the well’s ability to supply adequate water for household use.
Water Quality Testing (when requested): Sampling may include common concerns such as bacteria, nitrates, pH, and mineral content, depending on testing options selected.

Why a Well Inspection Matters?

Protect Your Water Supply: Private wells are not regulated like municipal systems, making inspections an important part of responsible ownership.
Avoid Costly Surprises: Early identification of pump, pressure, or flow issues can help prevent unexpected repairs.
Peace of Mind: Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property, knowing the condition of your well helps you make informed decisions.

A private water well inspection is a smart investment in your property and your family’s well-being, providing valuable insight into a system you rely on every day.
