Well system evaluation
A visual and operational evaluation of your private well system — pressure, flow, and visible components assessed and documented.
Private wells need their own look.
Properties on private well water have an additional layer of complexity that a standard inspection doesn't fully cover. My well evaluation gives you an independent look at system performance and visible condition — so you know what you're buying into.
Pressure & flow check
I test system pressure and observe flow at fixtures to identify obvious performance concerns.
Visible components
Pressure tank, pump (if accessible), visible supply lines, and connections are evaluated for condition and proper installation.
Documented findings
Observations are noted with photos. Water quality testing is a separate service performed by a licensed lab.
Typical scope
- Pressure tank condition and operation
- System pressure at point of entry
- Visible pump components (if accessible)
- Supply line and connection condition
- Pressure switch and gauge
- Flow observation at fixtures
- Visible signs of corrosion or leaks
Evaluation is visual and operational. Underground components, well depth, and water quality testing are not included.
A note on water quality
Water quality testing — including bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants — is outside the scope of this evaluation and requires samples sent to a licensed laboratory. I recommend scheduling water quality testing separately if you're purchasing a property on well water.
Ask me and I can point you toward local resources for well water testing in the Abilene area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pressure and flow testing, visible pump components if accessible, pressure tank condition, supply lines and connections, pressure switch and gauge, and signs of corrosion or leaks.
No. Water quality testing for bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants is outside the scope and requires samples sent to a licensed laboratory — I recommend scheduling that separately.
No, the evaluation is visual and operational; well depth and underground components aren't included.
