Overview
What a well inspection covers
During an inspection, we review the accessible parts of the well and pressure system: the wellhead and casing, the pump's performance, the pressure tank and switch, and the visible plumbing and electrical connections. We watch how the system runs and cycles, check pressure, and note anything that looks worn, damaged or out of place. Afterward, we explain what we found in plain language.
An inspection is a snapshot of current conditions — it can't promise a well will never need repairs. Water sampling and lab testing are a separate step; if you'd like testing included, we'll spell that out in your estimate. The Florida Department of Health provides guidance on testing private well water, and testing is commonly recommended after flooding — worth keeping in mind during hurricane season.
If an inspection uncovers a problem, we'll explain whether well pump repair or a larger fix makes sense.
Common Reasons
When to schedule a well inspection
Before buying a home
Many homes outside St. Augustine's city water service rely on private wells. An inspection before closing tells you what you're getting — something you can't judge by running a faucet during a showing.
After a change in performance
Lower pressure, odd noises, frequent cycling or changes in the water are good reasons to have the system checked before a small issue grows.
After a storm or flooding
Storms can damage electrical controls, and floodwater around a wellhead is a reason to have the well checked and the water tested.
Unknown maintenance history
If you've moved into a home and don't know when the well was last serviced, an inspection gives you a starting point.
