Having a water well on your property provides a private supply of fresh water at a much lower monthly cost. While an annual well inspection isn’t essential to its operation, it’s a worthwhile investment that may prevent major issues down the road. Here’s a closer look at what happens during a well inspection and the benefits it offers.

What Does an Inspection Include?

A well professional will perform a thorough assessment to determine the condition of your system. They’ll inspect the wellhead, casing, and pump in addition to testing the water quality. They’ll check that the soil hasn’t shifted, the water table is still viable, and the components haven’t sustained any damage.

A test may be done to check water pressure and assess how well the pump is functioning, and well cleaning might be recommended to remove sediments like iron particles. The goal is to check every element of the well for signs of current and potential problems to maintain its proper function and prevent failure.

What Are the Benefits?

The well inspection will ensure your well stays in good shape with smooth performance now and in the future. Any contaminants will be cleaned, so you’ll enjoy fresher water and peace of mind.

The contractor will make any repairs needed before they turn into bigger problems while recommending updates to improve your experience, such as a water softener installation to remove a buildup of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. Worn-down or failing parts will be replaced before they cause an interruption in your water supply.
