Well Inspections
Understanding your well inspection is essential for protecting your water supply and your investment. This page outlines our comprehensive well inspection process — evaluating water quality, flow rate, pump performance, pressure systems, and overall condition. With our transparent approach, you’ll know exactly what to expect and how our inspection ensures your well is safe, efficient, and providing reliable water for years to come.
At Modern Home Inspections, we provide thorough Connecticut well inspections to help homeowners maintain a clean, reliable, and efficient water source. Our certified inspectors use advanced testing methods to check for contaminants, evaluate pump efficiency, and ensure your pressure system is operating correctly. We also identify signs of wear, corrosion, or potential failures that could affect performance or water safety. With a detailed inspection report and clear recommendations, you’ll have the information you need to keep your well system running smoothly and your family’s water supply protected.

Professional Well Inspections You Can Trust for Clean, Safe Water
Water Quality Testing
Owning a pool adds relaxation and value to your home, but safety should always come first. This essential checklist helps homeowners and buyers ensure their pool is secure, compliant with local standards, and ready for safe enjoyment year-round. Regular checks not only protect your family but also prevent costly repairs and potential hazards.
Well Inspections
Our inspectors will test the water pressure (psi) and the flow (gpm) of your water supply over a period of 30-60 minutes. We will visibly inspect the well head and the well equipment within the home. We will measure the electrical draw from the well pump during the test. This will provide you with information about the performance of your private water supply.
Understanding Well Flow Tests
Understanding Well Flow Tests and Their Role in Maintaining Water Efficiency
A well flow test is essential for evaluating the performance and reliability of your water supply system. This test helps identify potential issues with your well, pump, or storage tank before they lead to costly repairs or water interruptions.
During the inspection, our certified inspectors examine all visible components of your well system — including the well head (if above ground), pressure tank, accessible piping and wiring, and jet pumps typically located near the storage tank. Submersible pumps, which are installed inside the well shaft, cannot be visually inspected but are assessed through system performance.
A well flow test measures the water pressure (PSI) and flow rate (GPM) over a set period to confirm your well’s ability to deliver a consistent water supply. While not as extensive as a recovery or drawdown test, it provides valuable insight into your well’s overall functionality and efficiency.

FAQ's
Learn More About Well Inspections
1. What is included in a well inspection?
A well inspection includes evaluating the well’s visible components — such as the well head, pressure tank, piping, wiring, and pump performance. We also test water flow rate, pressure levels, and system efficiency to ensure your well is operating safely and reliably.
2. Why is a well inspection important?
A professional well inspection helps identify potential issues with your water system early — such as low pressure, leaks, or equipment failures. It ensures your water supply is clean, consistent, and safe for everyday use.
3. How often should I have my well inspected?
It’s recommended to have your well inspected annually to monitor performance and water quality. Additional inspections should be done before buying or selling a home or if you notice changes in water pressure or taste.
4. Do you test water quality during a well inspection?
Yes. Water quality testing is often included or offered as an add-on service. Our inspectors can collect samples to test for contaminants like bacteria, lead, arsenic, radon, and pesticides to confirm your water is safe to drink.
5. How long does a well inspection take?
Most well inspections take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the system’s size, accessibility, and whether water quality testing is performed.
