Because
the well is underground it is impossible to see and know exactly
what is going on there. Our inspection does not include removing
the well pump which is at the bottom of the well and sending it
to a well technician for testing. However, there are things that
we can inspect for, that will give us clues about the condition of
the well pump, such as the pipe coming from the well pump. Is it
noisy or vibrating? What is the reading on the well pressure tank
gauge when the water is running? Does the well pressure tank recover
quickly or is it sluggish and slow? We recommend that a water sample
be taken with every well inspection. Not only do you need to know
if the well equipment is operating properly, you need to know that
the well is producing healthy, clean water that will not make you
sick.
