Six Parts of an Enhanced Well Inspection
To conduct a thorough water well inspection, there are several crucial steps involved.
1) The first step is to research the well’s history, including its origin, past inspections, maintenance, and operations. The inspector will also need to know the well’s age, depth, and initial yields to establish a baseline for proper operation and analysis.
2) The pump, responsible for drawing water from beneath the ground and into your plumbing system, is the biggest potential expense for a well owner. Therefore, the inspector will spend a considerable amount of time analyzing it to ensure that it’s functioning correctly. They will examine the electric pump’s ohms and amps, line voltage, and grounding.
3) If the pump is working correctly, the inspector will proceed to conduct a flow test to determine how water moves through the system. This test will involve measuring the rate of water flowing through pipes and determining if pipes leading to specific areas of the house are correctly filled with water.
4) In addition to testing the pump and water flow, the inspector will also conduct a physical inspection of the well’s components to check for any signs of wear, cracks, fraying, breakage, or other signs of aging. As the well equipment involves your family’s drinking water, the inspector will also check for any indications of unsanitary conditions that could contaminate the water and put you at risk of contracting illnesses such as hepatitis and dysentery.
5) It’s essential to note that a well inspection is not the same as a well water quality test. The former tests the functionality of the well, while the latter tests the quality of the water. It is recommended that you conduct a water quality test separately.
6) Finally, the inspector will provide a detailed report on their findings, including specifics about pressure and voltages. The report should be easy to understand and act on based on the recommendations provided.
A thorough water well inspection will give you peace of mind and help you avoid costly breakdowns in the future.
