What Is a Well Inspection?

A well inspection evaluates the condition and functionality of a well system, assessing water quality, system components, and adherence to local health standards.

Our approach to water well and septic tank inspections is thorough and systematic:

2. System Components Check: Evaluating the pump, pressure tank, and related equipment such as the septic tank for functionality.

3. Well Yield Test: Assessing the well's ability to maintain water flow over a set period.

4. Physical Inspection: Examining the wellhead, casing, and cap for integrity and proper sealing.

Michelle O'Flaherty

Oklahoma City, OK

PROFESSIONAL

Extremely thorough and professional. Was on time and had every tool and testing device needed to make sure his inspection was exhaustive. When finished Kaleb helped me understand his findings in a layman way. Even though it was all on the report, the 'cliffs notes" summary was nice. He even gave advice for how to address findings.

Eric Huff

Edmond, OK

Highly REcommended

The entire process from setting up the inspection, setting a date/time and completing the inspection was very good. Requesting the inspection and scheduling a date/time was very easy. The best was the actual report itself. Dale did a very thorough job of evaluating the entire home, taking a lot of pictures, especially of the areas that needed to be addressed. I loved the summary report that allowed me to focus in on the specific areas of concern. The detailed report was very thorough and great to have on file. I received both the same day the actual inspection was completed which I thought was exceptional service. Dale came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend him as well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Well & Septic Systems

What is involved in a well test?

A well test typically involves assessing the well's structural integrity, pump operation, water flow rate (yield test), and water quality. This includes testing for contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals, as well as inspecting the physical components such as the pump, casing, and the wellhead.

What happens if my well fails inspection?

If a well fails inspection, it's necessary to address the specific issues identified. This could involve repairing or replacing parts of the well system, treating the water to eliminate contaminants, or in severe cases, drilling a new well. It's essential to consult with a professional to determine the appropriate course of action.

How do you check a well?

Checking a well involves several steps:

Inspecting the physical structure for damage or wear.
Testing the water for quality, including pH levels and the presence of contaminants.
Assessing the pump and pressure tank operation.
Conducting a yield test to evaluate the well's water output over time.

How often should you check your well pump?

It's recommended to check your well pump at least annually. Regular maintenance helps in identifying and rectifying issues early, ensuring consistent water supply and prolonging the life of the pump.

How long does well testing take?

Well testing duration can vary depending on the extent of the tests.

Can I test my well water myself at home?

Yes, you can perform basic well water tests at home using testing kits available at hardware stores. These kits can test for common contaminants like nitrates, bacteria, and pH levels. However, for a comprehensive assessment, professional testing is recommended.
