Why Water Well Inspections Are Crucial


Of all the vital systems in your home, nothing is more important than your water supply. If your home has a water well, or if you're considering purchasing a home that uses one, you want to make sure it's designed and engineered to deliver the quality water you expect. While an inspection can't guarantee the longevity of your well, it can help you pinpoint any current issues and fix them quickly. Water well inspections can also help you answer some critical questions about your water sources:



  • Is the home's water safe to drink?
  • What is the flow rate of the water coming out of the well? (Older wells tend to have a lower yield.)
  • How old is the well?
  • Can the well provide enough water to cover your family's needs?
  • How much wear and tear has the well experienced?
  • Has the well been maintained on a regular basis?
  • If the well is nearing the end of its life, how much will a new well cost?
  • Is the pump working as it should? How old is it, and is it in need of a newer, more efficient replacement?

Like all the vital systems in a home, a water well will require some regular maintenance. The health department and CDC recommend checking and testing wells annually for mechanical problems, cleanliness, and the presence of contaminants through professional inspectors. The area around your well should also be kept clear of debris or other trash that could contaminate the water. Annual testing and water quality tests are essential to ensure the safety and quality of your water.


If it's been more than 10 years since you had your well professionally inspected, don't wait any longer. Give Ayers Well Drilling a call today to schedule your water inspection and ensure the integrity of your water sources.

Water Flow Rate Testing

Flow rate testing helps assure that the quantity of water your household needs is in line with the amount of water your well can deliver. On average, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that most people use between 80 to 100 gallons of water per day. Our inspectors will measure the size of your well and then check the flow of water out of each of your home's taps. We'll measure the gallons per minute produced as well as how fast the well refills. If we detect any issues – or if the well can't keep up – we'll let you know. A home inspection well flow test is very important if you're purchasing a new home that utilizes a water well, ensuring that you have sufficient water quantity.


Water System Equipment Inspection

Your water well is only one component of an entire water delivery system within your home. The well's pump, pressure tank, and the overall well casing can also play a role in the reliability, longevity, and performance of your system. Our water well inspection services evaluate each of these components. We'll inform you about what type of pump your system uses, how it's performing, and what we recommend in terms of maintenance, repair, or replacement to ensure your water safety and the efficient operation of your pump.


CITY WATER COMPARISON

In addition to assessing your well's performance, it's essential to consider the water levels and cleanliness. Comparing well water to city water can help you understand the advantages of having clean water right from your tap. Our water tests will provide you with valuable insights into the quality and safety of your well water. Clean water is crucial for your family's well-being.


If you're concerned about your pump operation, water quantity, or the quality of your well water, contact Ayers Well Drilling today for comprehensive water well inspection services. We prioritize your water safety and can recommend solutions to address any issues identified during the inspection.



WATER BACTERIA/POTABILITY TESTING

There are many naturally occurring chemicals, like radon and nitrates, that exist in groundwater. While at low levels these may not cause concern – if left untreated, they can build up. At the same time, other bacteria can also build up in a well, and can go undetected if the water isn’t tested. Our private water well inspection services include a full culture of water testing – both at the tap and within the well. And, if we detect any issues, we can offer up solutions to help you get your water healthy again.Your water well is only one component of an entire water delivery system within your home.

FAQ

  • How can you tell if your well water is bad?

    If you notice any change in your water quality or delivery, it could be a sign that your well is experiencing issues. It’s also a good idea to have your well water checked annually for quality and contaminants.


  • How often should I get my water well inspected?

    We recommend annual water testing and a full-service inspection every 10 years. Homeowners should keep a record of these inspections. If you’re buying or selling a home on a water well, it’s a good idea to have a home inspection well flow test before closing on a property.


  • What does water flow rate testing involve?

    We will use specialized equipment to measure the flow of water across all water fixtures in a home. We’ll measure both the static pressure and the gallons per minute of water delivery for about an hour, taking readings periodically. We’ll then use these numbers to calculate if the flow is adequate for the home’s anticipated needs.


  • Can you provide a cost estimate for a water well inspection?

    Our general private water well inspection costs around $525 and takes a few hours to complete. Our team will inspect all areas of the water well, including water quality and flow. You’ll receive a comprehensive report, including bacteria test information.


  • How long does a typical water well inspection take?

    Water well inspections typically take one to two hours. We will also send water samples to a lab for a comprehensive analysis. It typically takes a few days to receive these results.


  • Will the inspection disrupt my water supply?

    Typically, water well inspections won’t disrupt your water supply. However, if the well runs out of water during the inspection, you may need to let it rest for some time to refill.


  • Does Ayers Well Drilling offer any warranties or guarantees on their services?

    Our inspection is a snapshot of the water system during the time of inspection. Our report will cover what we see and detect, but it cannot predict or guarantee the lifespan of the well or the long-term viability of the equipment.


  • Can I schedule a well inspection for a property I'm considering buying?

    Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it! About 90% of our inspections are conducted during the home buying and selling process.
