Regular inspections are a key part of maintaining the condition of a water well. They prevent hidden issues from getting out of hand and provide an opportunity for timely repairs. If you’ve never had a well inspection, it’s helpful to know what to expect. Here’s a closer look at what the process entails and why it’s necessary.

What Happens During a Well Inspection?

Flow Test

One of the first things a professional water well technician will do is test the flow. This ensures the well is maintaining the proper amount of pressure and delivering the amount of water that you need. They’ll turn on the pump and measure the water level as it runs. If it’s lower than expected, they’ll inspect the various components of the pump motor to determine that each is fully functional.

Water Test

This step in the well inspection keeps external disturbances from further affecting the drinkability of the water and will preserve the health of your home. Experts will start by examining a sample of water for signs of cloudiness, discoloration, and odor. They’ll then calculate the amounts of sediment and bacteria that are in the well and determine the treatments that could restore the water’s condition.

Written Report

At the end of this one- to two-hour process, you’ll receive a detailed well inspection report from the technician team. This should include a list of results from each of the tests and the steps they recommend for preserving the system’s functionality. If it requires immediate repair, an appointment will be set up for installation. Otherwise, all the information you’ll need for future decisions will be available in the report for later viewing.
