When your plumbing system depends on a water well, on-going maintenance is imperative to avoid issues with cleanliness, flow, and longevity. If you’ve recently undergone a water well installation, here are some helpful tips to ensure your property stays in excellent condition year-round. 

What Are the Most Important Steps to Follow to Maintain Your Water Well?

First and foremost, reach out to a trusted well contractor to schedule an inspection. Maintaining a strong relationship with an expert will help you avoid serious issues down the line and will allow you to budget properly for updates and equipment replacements. As you use faucets, toilets, appliances, and showers throughout your home, always take note of sudden changes in pressure, slow drains, or minimal flow. These situations could indicate a need for pump repairs.

In addition to paying close attention to how your plumbing is functioning, perform routine inspections of the exterior of your home. Keep an eye out for puddles surrounding your well and during the landscaping process, and steer clear of using chemicals or fertilizers near your water source. 

How Frequently Should You Schedule Professional Inspections?

The best way to keep your system in top-notch condition is through preventative maintenance and by working closely with experienced well and drilling contractors. As a general rule of thumb, schedule inspections and water testing appointments once a year so you can rest easy knowing your set up is functioning properly and the pressure stays consistent. Your well shouldn’t require annual sanitization. If this is the case, connect with a technician who can fix any bacterial problems.
