What Our Water System Inspection Includes:
1. Full pump and pressure tank inspection
We check age, wear, performance, and installation layout.
2. Electrical system check
We test wiring, control boxes, and pressure switches for proper function and safety.
3. Pump health testing using electrical diagnostics
Using professional-grade meters, we check for:
- Motor winding resistance (ohms)
- Amperage draw during startup and run
- Ground faults or insulation breakdown
These are signs the average inspector won’t know to check, and can reveal hidden problems before they become failures.
4. Tank cycling test
We verify proper pressure settings and detect issues with short cycling, which can shorten pump life.
5. Wellhead inspection for Board of Health compliance
Including:
- Well casing height (above grade)
- Sealed cap condition
- Location of vents, wiring, and electrical conduit
6. Check valve & backflow inspection
We verify proper placement of spring-loaded check valves and backflow prevention devices.
7. Pressure relief valve review
Required by code — and often missing in older systems.
8. Basic water quality test (optional)
We’ll collect a water sample for basic in-house analysis to identify signs of iron, hardness, or contamination.
9. Written or verbal report options
- Verbal walk-through: For buyers/sellers who want an informal overview
- Full documentation: For banks, lawyers, or closing records (includes written report)
