Well Evaluations

The well evaluation can be conducted at the same time as the septic evaluation, or by itself. The well evaluation includes the following:

• Visual inspection of the well head to assure that there is no damage.
• Location of the well on the property and the distances to all possible sources of contamination.
• Collection of a water sample for laboratory analysis.
• Inspection of the pressure tank.
• Availability of municipal water supply.

Pump Yield Capacity Test

A pump yield capacity test can be conducted upon request. This test is performed by running the water until the pump turns on and stays running at a constant pressure. After 15 to 20 minutes of the water running, the flow is measured and recorded.
