Call King Water Wells right away if you are buying a home with a water well system. We will inspect the system thoroughly to make sure the current homeowner does not need to do anything to the well to maintain it or repair it. The last thing you want is to buy a home with a shoddy water well that needs to be replaced. Worse yet, you could buy a home that has toxic water in the well that could make you and your family sick. Let us come and inspect the water well before you sign on the dotted line.
1. Inspect the System
A water well system comes with many working parts that get the water out of the well and into your home. We will inspect the system mechanics to make certain that every single part is operating as it should be. For example, we will inspect and test the water well pump, the pressure tank, and the filtration system. All of these things should be relatively new and working properly. We will also test the well cap to make certain that it forms a seal over the well to prevent water contamination. Finally, we will take a look at the well integrity to make sure it isn’t cracked or damaged.
2. Test the Water Flow
Next, we will test the water well flow to verify that it produces the gallons per minute it is supposed to when sending water into your home. This test gives us an opportunity to determine if the existing water well is large enough to meet you and your family’s water needs. This includes exterior water needs such as watering your yard. It does you no good to purchase a home with a water well that is too small to meet your demands. As such, we will ask you questions about your water usage and then test the water flow to make sure the existing well and equipment will work perfectly for you.
3. Water Quality Test
Finally, if the water well passes the inspection and flow test, we will check to make sure the quality of the water in the well is topnotch. It’s crucial to test well water regularly to make sure it has not become contaminated. Things such as harmful metals, pesticides, bacteria, and sulfur can make their way into the well water and make you and your family sick. You do not want to move into a home that has a water well with contaminated water. This suggests there’s something wrong with the well.
