Well Inspections 1950's well still in use Well Inspections. About two-thirds of Wisconsin's population drinks water drawn from over 750,000 private wells. Wells are safe, dependable sources of water if sited wisely and built correctly. Unlike public water systems, protection and maintenance of a private well is largely the responsibility of homeowners. It is important to know that your private water source was built correctly and protected adequately. A well and pressure system inspection may be required by lenders when you buy, sell or refinance your home.  Well and pressure systems need to be installed and maintained properly to provide adequate safe drinking water. Ground water contamination is a growing concern. Many wells are illegally installed or left open after discontinued use causing water contamination in the area. During the inspection we will explain how your well has been installed, how to maintain the well, and offer suggestions for repairs or abandonment that is needed.    As a  Wisconsin Department of Natural Resourses Licensed Pump Installer and Registered Well Inspector, I will identify the compontents of the well for you and offer you an accurate report on the performance by testing and  verify Code conformity when inspecting the well. Water samples are drawn and tested from the well to determine if the water is safe for consumption. Water testing People are becoming more aware of water quality, especially for consumption. For most real estate transactions water is tested for bacteria, nitrates, and occasionally lead. There are many contaminates that can be tested in your drinking water. We have contracted with labs all over the state to provide for any type of test that you may need. As a DNR Licensed pump installer we are provided with updated information yearly on potential areas with contaminated groundwater.  More information on contaminates in drinking water
