Having a private well gives you control of the quality of your water, but you must be diligent about caring for it. As Coolwater Drilling Inc. explains, high quality, healthy water requires consistent well maintenance. This company, with locations in Bremerton and Shelton, WA, has installed, maintained, and repaired water systems throughout the area for almost 40 years, so they understand the need for commitment and consistency.

Scheduling regular inspections by a professional is the best way to ensure your water system stays healthy. A well maintenance expert will thoroughly examine the equipment and components, from the storage tanks to the individual joint seals. They’ll know if something’s awry and how to fix it. They also will keep comprehensive records so they can pinpoint any problem to which your system may be susceptible.

Between well maintenance inspections, it’s important to watch for anything out of the ordinary, including the following conditions:

• Strange Odors Or Flavors: If there’s anything malodorous about your well or the taste of its water is different, call professionals for water testing.

• Physical Damage: If you notice leaking, rusting, or obvious damage to the components of your well, especially the well cap, contact a professional for repairs.

• Strange Sounds: Anything unusual, like a pressure switch chattering, could mean you have loose components or blockages in the system.

With a little dedication and regular well maintenance, you will preserve the high quality of your water.
