Why a Well Performance Inspection Benefits You
This comprehensive inspection provides a clear picture of the well’s overall condition, water flow capabilities, and potential concerns, allowing you to make informed decisions regarding the property’s suitability and potential future needs.
A well-performance inspection typically involves several key components:
- Visual inspection: We examine the well’s physical condition, including the casing, wellhead, pressure tank, and any visible signs of damage or leaks.
- Water flow test: This test measures the well’s sustained pumping capacity by running the pump for a specific duration and monitoring the water pressure and flow rate. It helps identify potential issues like insufficient water yield for the household’s needs.
- Pump functionality: We check the pump’s operation, age, and overall condition to assess its reliability and the potential need for maintenance or replacement.
- Water pressure measurement: This ensures the well provides adequate pressure for household needs, avoiding issues like low water flow in faucets and appliances.
- Additionally, the inspector may review the well’s history, including previous maintenance records and any known issues, to provide a comprehensive picture of its overall performance and potential concerns.
- Basic water quality testing: Combining the well performance inspection with a Water Quality test is highly recommended.
