On a private well, water quantity and water quality are both your responsibility from the day you close. We test the flow and sample the water before that happens.
A well can deliver plenty of water that is unsafe to drink, or perfectly clean water at a trickle that cannot fill a bathtub. Both matter, and they are tested differently.
The three things a lender and a buyer both want answered.
Sustained flow in gallons per minute, which tells you whether the well supports normal household use.
Laboratory analysis for bacteria and common contaminants found in Maryland groundwater.
Pump, pressure tank and wellhead condition, and whether the installation protects the water supply.
Baltimore metro, the Washington DC suburbs, Frederick County, Northern Maryland and South-Central PA.
Commonly booked together during the inspection period.
Tank, baffles and drain field condition before you buy.
Supply, drains, water heater and the signs of past leaks.
A full evaluation of the structure and every major system, for buyers and sellers.
Find the source, the moisture path and the hidden damage.
Testing for what you cannot see in the air you breathe daily.
Cracking, settlement and drainage around the structure.

It depends on household size and usage, but lenders commonly look for a sustained rate in the range of several gallons per minute. The report gives the measured figure and what it supports.
Bacteria is standard, and additional contaminants can be included depending on the area and lender requirements. Results come from an accredited laboratory.
Tell us what your lender requires before the appointment and we will confirm whether our flow test and water sampling satisfies it.
Book a well flow test and water sampling with your property inspection.
