Repairing well systems can become very costly.
Make sure there are no issues with your new home’s well before moving in.
A well inspection from Hope Home Inspections verifies that the property’s well system provides an adequate water supply and that the associated equipment is operating properly at the time of inspection. This evaluation gives buyers a clear understanding of the system they’re inheriting, helping them move forward with confidence in their purchase.
- Ensure reliable water with well inspections.
- Identify issues with pumps and pressure tanks.
- Detailed reports with repair recommendations.
Our certified inspectors provide well inspections in the Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and Tampa areas.
What a well inspection includes:
- Our inspectors will inspect all of the well pump equipment and the wellhead. This examination is to ensure there are no visible risks present, such as contamination into the well or storage tank.
- Our inspectors will test that the systems are in working order, are free of corrosion/damage, that the bladder tanks are operating at the proper pressure, and look for exposed wires or shock hazards which could cause harm to someone.
- Our inspectors will run the well system for 30 minutes to verify there is an adequate water supply, the water is clean, meaning no discoloration or odor present, and to ensure all aspects of the system are in working order.
What a well inspection does not include:
- We DO NOT evaluate the home’s water table to ensure there will be a long-term supply, provide a warranty, give estimates on life spans of equipment, or determine if the physical well location is safe from underground contaminants or other non-visible risks.
- We DO NOT CHEMICALLY TEST the quality of the water unless requested by the buyer, which is highly recommended for well water AND homes built before 1986, regardless of the water source. For more information on our water testing, click the button below.
