Your Family’s Safety First: Water Testing & Well Inspections by Evergreen Water Treatment Northwest

Are you concerned about the safety and quality of your well water? At Evergreen Water Treatment Northwest, we understand the importance of ensuring your family’s health and well-being by providing comprehensive well inspections and water testing services. Whether you are preparing to sell your home or looking to purchase a new property, our expert team is here to help you make informed decisions about your well water system.

The Importance of Well Inspections & Water Testing

Well inspections and water testing play a crucial role in safeguarding your home’s water supply. Groundwater sources can be susceptible to various forms of contamination, ranging from naturally occurring substances to human-induced pollutants. Without regular check-ups, these contaminants can compromise the quality of your well water, potentially leading to health hazards. Well inspections help in detecting issues such as equipment malfunctions or structural damage that could affect water purity and supply. Meanwhile, water testing provides a detailed analysis of your water’s composition, identifying any harmful bacteria, chemicals, or heavy metals present. Together, these services offer a comprehensive approach to ensuring your water remains clean and safe, preventing the risk of waterborne diseases and contributing to the overall well-being of your household. Engaging in routine well inspections and water testing not only protects your family’s health but also preserves the longevity and efficiency of your well system, ensuring a reliable source of quality water for years to come.

Real Estate Transactions: Pre-Selling & Pre-Buying Inspections

Navigating the real estate market requires due diligence, especially when it comes to ensuring the safety and functionality of a home’s well system. For sellers, an early well inspection can spotlight any necessary repairs or improvements, potentially increasing property value and smoothing the path to a successful sale. It’s an opportunity to address any issues on your terms, rather than under the pressure of a buyer’s demands. For buyers, investing in a well inspection during the property evaluation phase is a wise move. It arms you with crucial information about the well’s condition and capacity, which can be instrumental in making an informed purchase decision. This knowledge could also serve as a valuable bargaining chip in negotiations. For both parties, these inspections aim to foster transparency, build trust, and ensure a fair transaction. Evergreen Water Treatment Northwest is dedicated to providing thorough well inspections for real estate transactions, helping both sellers and buyers proceed with confidence.

What Our Well Inspections Cover

Our comprehensive well inspections at Evergreen Water Treatment Northwest are meticulously designed to assess every aspect of your well system’s health and functionality. Our team of experts embarks on a thorough onsite inspection process that includes a variety of essential checks. This starts with a two-hour well pump flow test, which may extend until the well runs dry or a pump fails the current draw test, to gauge the pump’s efficiency and water availability accurately. During this test, we measure and calculate the total gallons pumped and the average gallons per minute (GPM) flow, ensuring your system meets the necessary water supply demands. Additionally, we frequently measure the well pump’s current draw to assess its operational integrity.

Attention is also given to the structural components of your well system. We visually inspect the wellhead, checking its condition, and height from grade, and ensuring the wellhead cap or seal is intact. The well casing’s visible portions are examined for signs of wear or damage. Our team notes the wellhead’s approximate location for our detailed report, inspecting the well pressure tank, and pressure switch, and verifying the presence and condition of a well water pressure gauge. We also evaluate the electrical components such as any installed well pump control panel, disconnect panels or switches, and ensure the main water shutoff valve is present and functional. This exhaustive inspection process ensures that your well system is evaluated from every angle, providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your well is in good condition.

Below is a list of things that we will do onsite during our inspection.

• perform, at a minimum, a two-hour well pump flow test (or until the well runs dry or the pump fails the current draw test);
• calculate the total gallons of water pumped during the well pump flow test;

• measure the well pump current draw at least every 15 minutes during the pump flow test;
