Well Water Inspections

If you rely on a private water well for your home, farm, or business, regular well water inspections are critical to ensure the safety and reliability of your water supply. At 77 Water Well Inc., we provide comprehensive, certified well inspections across Texas, helping property owners detect issues early, meet health codes, and prevent costly damage or contamination. Whether you're buying a new property, facing pressure or quality issues, or simply want peace of mind, our professional water well inspections give you the data you need and the confidence to move forward.

What's Included in Our Well Water Inspection

Our well water inspections are designed to be thorough, efficient, and compliant with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and EPA drinking water standards. Our standard inspection package includes: water quality testing for coliform and E. coli bacteria, nitrates and nitrites, iron, manganese, and sulfur, pH level and hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), lead and other heavy metals, and taste, odor, and color abnormalities. Testing is performed using certified labs, and we deliver a full analysis within 24–72 hours.

Pump System Evaluation

The condition of your well pump, motor, and electrical system directly affects your water supply. Our inspection includes voltage and amp draw measurements, pump cycling analysis, pressure switch and tank functionality, motor noise, vibration, and thermal readings, and flow rate and drawdown testing. This helps ensure the pump is functioning efficiently without overloading or prematurely wearing out.

Wellhead and Surface Inspection

The visible components of your well are the first line of defense against contamination. We examine well casing condition, well cap integrity and proper sealing, signs of corrosion, insects, or animal intrusion, proper grading and drainage around the wellhead, and location and proximity to potential contamination sources. Any damage, cracks, or violations of wellhead protection guidelines are documented with photos and repair recommendations.

Well Inspections for Real Estate Transactions

If you're purchasing a property with a private water well, a basic home inspection isn't enough. You need a certified well inspection that includes well pump and tank functionality, flow rate and pressure testing, water quality testing for potability, compliance with state and lender standards, and a full report you can submit to your mortgage lender, health department, or real estate agent. 77 Water Well Inc. is trusted by realtors, inspectors, and property buyers across Texas for our accurate, unbiased well inspection services.

When Should You Schedule a Well Inspection?

Our experts recommend a full well inspection at least once per year—or immediately if: you're buying or selling a property with a private well; you notice a change in taste, smell, or color of the water; your water pressure drops or becomes inconsistent; the well hasn't been serviced in over 12 months; you suspect bacterial contamination or illness related to water; or after any flooding, construction, or septic issues near the well.

Inspection Cost: $425

Our well inspection includes collection of water samples for analysis in our state certified lab (Coliform and E-coli bacteria tests performed, additional testing per the request of buyer or lender), inspection of well for visible code compliance (setback distances, casing height, well cap condition), and ensuring proper well and pump operation including quantity of water the well or well pump is able to produce.
