Well System Inspection
Water tapped by a private well is often of the highest quality. When buying a home with a private well, your home inspection should include a well system check up to ensure the well is in good working order and the quality of the water produced meets health standards.
Your well water inspection will include:
A flow test to determine system output and general water quality (odor, cloudiness, etc.).
An inspection of well equipment to assure that it is sanitary, cap is not damaged and conduit with wiring is intact.
A test of your water for coliform bacteria and water hardness, and anything else of concern in your area that could pose problems with your plumbing, staining, water appearance, and odor.
A concise, clear, written report explaining results and recommendations for your well that will include water sample test results.
