Having your water well routinely inspected can help ensure it lives a long and healthy life, while saving you money in the long run. Annual Inspections can also discover issues before they have the chance to compromise your water’s quality, putting you or your property at risk.

You should always have your well inspected by a licensed water systems professional like those here at Domer’s. Here are some of the things we look for in our inspections:

The Wellhead

The area above the ground surface is just as important as what is underneath. If any of the following show signs of damage, call a professional to investigate:

• Well Casing – Visually inspect the general condition of the pipe protruding from the ground, and measure to make sure the pipe extends at least a foot above the ground.
• Well Cap – The cap on top of the casing should be checked along with any seals, making sure there are no leaks and that it is securely attached.
• Electrical Conduit – Without touching any potentially live circuits, visually verify that all connections are secure.

System Components and Equipment

Contact a water well systems professional if you discover issues with any of the following:

• Above-ground pumping equipment, including motors and shaft seals
• Above-ground wiring and parts like pipes, connections, joint seals, pressure gauges, and relief valves
• Storage tanks
• The electrical control box
• Water softeners and conditioners
• Filtration equipment
