When an inspection makes sense
- Buying or selling property with a private well, so there are no surprises after closing
- A well that's older or has no service records
- After a drought, flood or nearby construction
- When you've noticed changes in pressure, taste, color or odor
What an inspection often covers
Scope varies by provider, so ask what's included. A typical inspection may look at the wellhead and cap, casing condition, the area around the well for contamination risks, pump and pressure tank operation, flow rate, and electrical components. Many buyers pair an inspection with water testing.
Find the well's history
The Texas Water Development Board's Groundwater Data Viewer lets you look up well reports by address for wells drilled since 2003, and older reports are available through the TCEQ Water Well Report Viewer. A well report can tell you the depth, casing and original yield, which is useful to have before an inspection.
