What Happens During A Well Inspection?
During our licensed well inspection services, we carefully evaluate the condition and functionality of every component of your well system. As part of the inspection, we perform a flow test to measure the system’s output. This includes testing water pressure before, during, and after pumping, calculating the average delivery rate (gallons per minute), and assessing pump motor performance, including amperage, grounding, and line voltage. We also evaluate pressure tank delivery and inspect pressure switch contacts to ensure your well operates safely and efficiently.
Step 1: Visual Inspection
We start by thoroughly inspecting all key components of your well system—including the well itself, pressure tank, pipes, valves, and filters—for visible signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion. This initial assessment helps identify potential structural weaknesses or areas at risk of system failure, ensuring your well remains safe and reliable
Step 2: Flow and Pressure Testing
We perform a flow test to measure the following:
Well’s output (the G.P.M.)
Water pressure
Overall performance
This ensures that the system delivers a steady and sufficient water supply without disruptions.
Step 3: Pump and Electrical System Evaluation
Our well inspectors evaluate the pump motor’s amperage, grounding, and voltage levels to ensure it operates efficiently and safely. We also test the pressure switch contacts to verify they are functioning correctly, helping maintain reliable water system performance.
Step 4: Water Quality Assessment (If Requested)
While a standard water well inspection evaluates the overall performance of your system, we also provide private well water testing to detect potential contaminants, including bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals, ensuring your water is safe and healthy for use.
Step 5: Inspection Report and Recommendations
After completing the well inspection, we provide a detailed report with our findings, including any potential issues or recommended repairs. If any problems are identified, we offer clear guidance and next steps to help restore your well system’s efficiency, safety, and reliability.
