As of 2025, over 22% of Delaware residents rely on individual wells, according to the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services. But state environmental data shows that up to 10% of the private wells in the area may have elevated levels of nitrates, bacteria, or other contaminants, if not properly cared for.

How Often Should I Have a Well Inspected?

You are to have a well checked:

Before the purchase or sale of a property

If you observe water taste, odor, or pressure

Following floods or natural disasters

During the annual maintenance

Regular check-ups can identify minor problems before they become expensive measures, particularly on pumps and tanks.

What is the Time of a Well Inspection?

A typical well check is 1-2 hours, depending on the size and condition of the system. More thorough inspections, such as water testing, can be more time-consuming. Our team of experienced members will have a comprehensive but effective process that causes minimal interference.
