Real Estate Water Inspections

Homeowners, sellers, and buyers who are considering purchasing or selling a piece of property with a well water system should get a well inspection first. Working with the highly knowledgeable staff at AAA Pump & Well Service can shed some light on what you are purchasing.

Bacteria are everywhere and most are harmless, but some can cause serious health conditions in humans and animals. Your well needs to be tested annually for coliform, a broad type of bacteria that infect the digestive tracts of animals and humans. If your laundry or plumbing fittings are starting to stain, your well needs to be tested for iron bacteria. If you are in a rural area, your well should also be annually tested for farming chemicals, nitrates, and nitrites. E. coli bacterial tests should be considered, especially if your septic system has problems.
