Well Performance Inspection
 With a General Home Inspection: $95

A well performance inspection is intended to assist the client in the evaluation of the overall condition of the drinking water well. The inspection is based on observations of the visible and apparent condition of the well and its components.


We will make observations of the area surrounding the well, well location, visible well casing, well cap, the pressure/storage tank, the pressure switch, wiring, any open visible piping, valves and gauges. We will measure flow rates. Observe the operation of the pressure switch. Note and confirm pressure switch settings. Perform a draw down test to attempt to replicate actual usage of a family living in the property under actual conditions.
