Just because water is coming out of

the faucet does not mean your well is "fine".

​

Well inspections can detect signs that the pressure system or pump are beginning to fail (and when they fail, there is no water).


Pressure systems are a quick and easy fix (around $500-1000).
Pumps are a bigger repair (and usually several thousand).

​

Pressure systems that are not working efficiently cost more in electricity and put more strain on your pump, shortening its lifespan).
