What Is Well Certification?

A well certification is similar to a home inspection but specifically for the water system. It’s often required during real estate transactions or when refinancing a property that uses a private well.

Our certification process includes:

  • Inspection of the Well and Pump System
  • Testing for Water Quality, Pressure, and Flow
  • Review of System Condition and Code Compliance
  • Documentation for Real Estate, Lender, or Health Department Use

Once complete, we provide a written report detailing the system’s condition and any recommendations for repair or updates if needed.

Why You Might Need a Well Certification

Here are a few common situations where a well certification is necessary:

  • Selling or Buying a Home With a Private Well
  • Meeting Bank or Lender Requirements for a Mortgage or Refinance
  • Ensuring Your System Meets Local Code and Health Standards
  • Peace of Mind Before Moving Into a New Property
  • Verifying Water Safety and System Performance for Tenants or Guests

If a property relies on a well, lenders often require both a water test and a certification of the system’s condition before they approve the loan. We help make sure you’re covered on both fronts.

Here’s what’s included in every certification service:

Full Inspection of the Wellhead, Casing, and Pump System

We start by examining all visible and accessible parts of the well system, including the wellhead, casing, electrical connections, seals, and pump setup. We look for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, leaks, or outdated components that may cause problems or violate the code.

Evaluation of Water Flow Rate and Pressure

Using industry-standard testing methods, we measure how much water your system produces and how strong the pressure is. This helps determine whether the well can keep up with the property’s demand and gives insight into the overall health of the pump.

Testing for Bacteria, Nitrates, and Other Common Contaminants

Most banks and lenders require proof that the water is safe to drink. We collect water samples and send them to an approved lab for certified testing, checking for harmful substances like coliform bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants that can affect health and safety.

Identification of Any Code Compliance Issues

We compare your system against current local and state requirements to ensure everything is up to code. If we find any concerns, we’ll clearly explain what needs to be updated and why, giving you time to make necessary changes before they become costly delays.

A Detailed Written Report for Your Records or Transaction

You’ll receive a full, easy-to-read report outlining our findings, system condition, water test results, and any recommendations. This document can be shared with real estate agents, lenders, and inspectors, or kept for your own peace of mind.

Make sure your water is safe and your system is up to code. Call us at 209-369-2779 today.
