Well Inspections

Well Inspection Services in North King & Snohomish Counties

Whether you're maintaining your current well system or preparing to buy or sell a property, regular well inspections are essential for ensuring a clean, safe, and reliable water supply. Over time, wells can develop issues—contamination, equipment wear, or reduced performance—even without obvious signs. Routine inspections help catch problems early, saving you from costly repairs and protecting your health.

Well inspections are also a key part of the real estate process. Buyers, sellers, and agents rely on certified inspections to confirm water quality and system functionality—often required by lenders or local health departments.

Our water testing includes detailed analysis for common contaminants such as coliform bacteria, arsenic, and nitrates. We provide detailed reports following any inspection, along with an upfront quote for recommended repairs.

Real Estate Well Inspections for New Buyers & Homeowners  

In addition to all the work that goes into the escrow process, including appraisals and inspections, if you’ve bought a home with a well or independent water system, there are a separate set of inspections you are legally mandated to perform.

While many mortgage companies require that a water test is performed on a home with a well, this doesn’t necessarily take into account the water well system as a whole. Not only do you need to know the quality of your water, but you also want to make sure that your entire system is up to code (including your filtration system and pumps), and identify any issues before they arise.

At Ralph’s Pump & Well, we are committed to helping our clients and customers get the service they need with the quality they trust. 

Our Process

Our certified technicians conduct a full inspection of your well system, including water safety testing, pump flow analysis, and a thorough evaluation of the well’s mechanical and electrical components. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed report outlining the system’s description, condition, and functionality.

We provide: 

• Mechanical inspection of the well head and water filtration system to ensure proper function and identify any visible issues.
  
  
• Water testing for common contaminants such as bacteria, arsenic, and nitrates to ensure your water is safe and clean.
  
  
• System flow test to measure the current output and efficiency of your water system.
  
  
• Water level monitoring before and during pumping to assess the health and sustainability of your well.
  
  
• Performance check of key components, including the pump motor (amp load, grounding, line voltage), pressure tank, and pressure switch contacts. We also assess general water quality indicators like odor, color, and clarity.
  
  
• Evaluation of well age and expected lifespan to help you plan ahead and avoid unexpected issues.

If any issues are found, we always provide a clear, upfront quote for recommended repairs.
