Common Issues Identified During Inspections

Well and septic inspections reveal both warning signs of failure and early-stage problems that are otherwise invisible.

Inspections identify and document all flaws.

Low Water Yield and Flow Issues

Reduced well output or pumping problems can warn of aquifer depletion or mechanical failure — early detection is key.

Septic Tank Leaks or Corrosion

Seepage from aging tanks jeopardizes soil and groundwater. Inspections uncover structural issues before they worsen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Well Pump Repair FAQ
Regular inspections detect issues before they become major problems, help protect your family's health, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. They're also often required during home sales or refinancing.
It’s recommended to inspect your well annually for water quality and your septic system every 3 to 5 years—or more frequently if you experience slow drains, odors, or pooling water.
If you require a loan, most mortgage lenders and local regulations require a well and septic inspection before finalizing real estate transactions involving properties with private systems.
A well inspection typically includes testing water quality for bacteria, nitrates, and contaminants, checking water pressure, inspecting the well components and verifying overall system performance.
Septic inspections evaluate tank levels, structural integrity, baffles, filters, inlet/outlet pipes, and check for signs of failure in the drain field. Inspectors may also uncover leaks, clogs, or root intrusions.
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on system complexity and whether testing or pumping is needed during the visit.
Watch for foul odors, soggy spots near the drain field, gurgling sounds in pipes, or sewage backups—these are signs your septic system needs urgent evaluation.
While DIY test kits exist, professional testing is more accurate and ensures proper analysis for a wider range of contaminants, especially if required for real estate purposes.
