System checkups
What a Well System Checkup Looks At
A water well inspection in Stephenville, TX starts with your whole system, not just one part. Here is what a checkup can cover, depending on your well and the scope you approve.
The well
A checkup can start with the well itself and how it is holding up for the way you use water.
The pump
We look at the pump's overall condition, since it does most of the work in your system.
Controls and pressure equipment
The parts that start the pump and keep pressure steady can cause problems that look like pump trouble.
How you use water
A new home, a barn, or livestock can change what your system is asked to do. We talk through what has changed.
Scope for owner approval
You Approve the Inspection Scope First
Every well is different, so we do not start with a fixed checklist. We agree on what the inspection covers with you, and you sign off before we begin.
- You call and tell us about your well, your pump, and anything you have noticed.
- We propose what the inspection will cover for your well and your concerns.
- You review and approve that scope before the inspection starts.
- We explain what we find in plain language. Anything beyond the approved scope is discussed with you and needs your approval first.
Warning signs
Signs It Is Time for a Well Inspection
Many well problems announce themselves in your water. These signs can have several causes, which is why a look at the whole system helps.
If the trouble centers on the pump, see our well pump installation and repair page.
- Pressure that is lower or less steady than it used to be.
- A pump that turns on and off more often than before.
- Sputtering faucets or air in the lines.
- Sand, sediment, or a change in how your water looks, tastes, or smells.
- New noises from the pump or a rise in your electric bill.
