When Should You Test or Service Your Well System?
Private wells and their mechanical components should be checked regularly, even when the water appears clear and the system seems to be working normally. Changes in water quality, pressure, pump activity, or nearby conditions can indicate that testing or service is needed.
Your Annual Service Is Due
An annual check provides an opportunity to review water quality, pump performance, pressure settings, and the condition of key system components.
Changes in Taste or Odor
Metallic, earthy, musty, or sulfur-like tastes and odors can develop because of minerals, bacteria, or changing groundwater conditions.
Staining or Cloudy Water
Orange, brown, black, or white staining may indicate iron, manganese, hardness, or sediment. Cloudy water or visible particles should also be evaluated.
Recent Flooding or Well Work
Heavy flooding, damage near the well, pump replacement, or repairs to the well system can affect water quality and may make additional testing appropriate.
Buying or Selling a Home
Water testing and a system inspection can provide useful information about a private well before a property changes ownership.
Changes in Pressure or Pump Operation
Frequent cycling, reduced pressure, unusual noises, or longer pump run times may indicate wear in the pump, pressure tank, switch, or another component.
Water Testing & Annual Service
Our annual service looks at both water quality and the equipment that delivers water to your home. We evaluate your concerns, inspect accessible system components, and recommend testing, maintenance, or repairs based on what we find.
- Private Well Water Testing
We help determine the appropriate testing based on your property, water source, and specific concerns, including bacteria, minerals, hardness, iron, manganese, and other common well water issues. - Water Sample Collection
Proper sample collection is important for accurate results. We follow the required collection procedures and help coordinate laboratory testing when needed. - Annual Well System Inspection
We inspect accessible pump controls, wiring, pressure equipment, valves, fittings, and water lines for signs of leaks, corrosion, wear, or improper operation. - Pressure Tank & Switch Check
We check the pressure tank, air charge, pressure switch, gauge, and pump cycling pattern to make sure the system is maintaining pressure correctly. - Pump Performance Evaluation
We review pump operation, pressure recovery, run time, and other performance indicators that can reveal wear or developing system problems. - Water Treatment System Check
If your home has a softener, filter, neutralizer, UV system, or other treatment equipment, we inspect its operation and identify maintenance or replacement needs.
