Well systems are commonly tested during real estate transactions, but testing is also important when evaluating pump health, well performance, or before repairs and replacements. Regular testing helps identify potential issues early and ensures your system is operating properly.

How often should I test my water quality?

Water quality testing is often required during home sales, but it’s also recommended when purchasing a new property, after drilling a new well, or anytime you notice changes in taste, smell, or appearance. Regular testing provides peace of mind and helps guide treatment solutions if needed.

How long will my well pump last?

Under ideal conditions, a well pump typically lasts 12–25 years, though some may last longer. Factors like sediment, improper pressure tank function, electrical issues, and failing components can reduce lifespan and lead to premature failure.

How long does it take to get results from a well test?

Well test reports are typically completed and emailed within 1–3 business days, depending on the type of testing performed and current workload.

What is the difference between a drilled well and a dug well?

A dug well usually has a large opening and is covered for safety, while a drilled well appears as a pipe extending from the ground. Drilled wells are more common and typically provide more reliable water sources.

Can a property have more than one well?

Yes, some properties have multiple wells to meet water demand. In other cases, additional well heads may indicate abandoned or unused wells. Inspecting the well and its components can help determine its status.

Can I provide my own generator for a well test?

Can I be present during my well service or testing?
