A well inspection gives you a clear picture of how your system is performing and whether any components are approaching the end of their useful life. If you're buying or selling a home, an inspection is often required to confirm the well can deliver safe, reliable water. Even if you're not in a transaction, an inspection can catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Allied Water Services conducts full well inspections that evaluate pumps, pressure tanks, controls, and water quality.

The inspection includes testing the pump cycle, checking the pressure tank bladder, inspecting electrical connections, and measuring flow rate. If the system has performance or safety concerns, you'll receive clear recommendations for repairs or upgrades. Inspections are also useful for planning preventive maintenance.

Key Benefits of This Service

During a well inspection, the technician will start by checking the pressure gauge and listening to the pump cycle. They'll test the pressure switch, inspect the wiring at the control box, and confirm that the system is building and holding pressure correctly. If the tank sounds hollow when tapped, that's a sign the bladder may have failed.

After the inspection, you'll have a written report that identifies any issues and outlines recommended repairs. Allied Water Services provides inspections for both buyers and sellers, with results that meet real estate transaction requirements. Most inspections are completed in under two hours.

The service also includes checking the wellhead seal, inspecting visible piping, and testing the flow rate at multiple fixtures. If water quality testing is needed, it can be scheduled separately. This inspection does not include camera work inside the well casing or repairs to the well itself.

Well inspections are straightforward, but knowing what the technician will check and what the results mean can help you prepare.
