The advantages of owning a private well are numerous; mineral-rich water, fewer chemicals, better flavor, and reduced utility costs are just a few. However, compared to municipal water, wells require more upkeep and testing because every house’s well water is different. But you don’t need to be worried about this anymore because professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are here to give you information on what well examinations look like so you can be safe and secure using the water.
It is recommended to receive a well inspection every year since the environment surrounding your well may have undetected changes that could affect the safety and quality of your water. If you are drinking this water, knowing that it’s free from the chemicals and microorganisms that can harm you is pretty valuable information. In addition to getting it annually checked, we recommend you call the professional for an inspection if your water has an odd taste or smell, if it’s blurry, or if you think something is wrong with it in general.
Many people believe it will take so long to complete the inspection process or that it will take weeks before they receive the results. Well checks are completed much more quickly these days. A couple of hours is usually all it takes to finish an inspection. You don’t have to dedicate an entire day to it or miss a vacation day or work. The entire inspection procedure should not take longer than one or two hours.
A professional inspector's checkup of a well will often cost you between $300 and $500. However, the cost and the kinds of water testing needed will vary among providers. If the water is tested in a lab, you may be expected to pay an additional fee. If you want, you can combine other inspections with the water inspections to save time and have a more thorough inspection of other systems in your house too.
In conclusion, a thorough water inspection is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and healthy water supply for your home. Ensuring your well water is free from contaminants and meets safety standards can protect your family's health. A thorough home inspection, including a detailed well water assessment by a professional, provides peace of mind and contributes to the overall safety and value of your property.
