Your water well provides inexpensive, convenient, clean water for your home, but only if it's correctly maintained. One of the most important types of maintenance you can do as a homeowner is to schedule a yearly well inspection with a professional. They'll check for issues that affect your water quality and the function of your equipment, which benefits you in several ways.

Why Get Annual Water Well Inspections

1. Catch Problems Early

When components of a well wear out, problems usually start small, then grow larger and more expensive to correct. For example, a damaged screen is an easy fix, but if you leave it too long and excessive grime enters the pump, it can cause clogs and possibly damage the motor. Yearly well inspections allow you to prolong the life of your equipment and save money on repairs.

2. Monitor Your Water Quality

Well InspectionTo keep your well water safe, you always need to be on the lookout for contamination. Keeping your well covered and only using pesticides and fertilizers a safe distance away will help, but contaminants like fluoride can also seep in from underground. Algae and bacteria may also bloom in the well. Regular inspections will identify problems that affect the quality of your water, keeping your family healthy.

3. Ensure Energy Efficiency

Pumps can experience problems that affect their power usage. For example, a unit that cycles on and off repeatedly will waste more energy. This means that your utility bills will go up, which also has a negative impact on the environment. Inspections will check that everything's running smoothly and efficiently, lowering your expenses and protecting the planet.
