Well Inspection

102 well drilling contractors list well inspection among their services.

A well inspection is a closer look than a standard home inspection gives a well: a flow test to check output under load, a water quality test, a check of the pump, pressure tank, and wellhead condition, and a review of available well construction and permit records where they exist.

It's most often requested before buying a home with a private well, since a standard home inspection typically only confirms the pump runs and water comes out of the tap, not whether the well and system are actually sound. Our well inspection checklist for home buyers walks through exactly what to check, ask for, and request before you close.

Inspection cost is usually modest compared to repair or drilling work; see the cost guide for context on what a follow-up repair might run if the inspection turns something up.
