WELL, WELL, WELL
UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS OF WATER WELL TESTING
When purchasing property, a key component to consider is the quality of the water. While well water is a hydration option that provides many nutritional and monetary benefits, its quality must be maintained and tested regularly. Whether you’re purchasing a new property, looking to sell, or interested in maintaining a healthy well, regular inspections ensure peace of mind, catch any possible issues, and help foster a well both Timmy and Lassie would be proud of (different kind of well, same goal). Just like city water is required to be regularly tested, your private well should be monitored consistently. Some loan lenders even require regular testing as a condition of the loan, and for homeowners who live in agricultural communities or in close proximity to waste areas, testing is imperative. There are two aspects of testing that determine if a well is healthy. First, a water quality test will show the mineral makeup of the water and check for any contaminants. If a test comes back positive for contaminants, don’t panic. They can often be mitigated with an updated filtration system or another simple change.
The second component is a flow test, which allows the inspector to determine the rate at which the well provides a steady flow of water. This rate indicates whether or not the well can supply enough water to sustain a home — something homeowners and sellers need to consider. When testing your well, keep its age in mind. Older wells and pumps will do worse in these tests than their newer counterparts due to normal wear and tear. While they still may function safely, we recommend working with a reputable maintenance
company to ensure that your well provides safe and healthy water.
