Well Assessment / Inspection

 

tap

A well assessment is an easy verification of the condition of a well. It quickly determines a wells ability to supply the required amount of water to support the occupants of a home or facility. This assessment includes a well inspection and/or a well recovery test.

A complete well inspection will verify the structural integrity of the well and its components and includes: identification of the well location, inspection of the well cap and well casing, drainage to and from the well, assessment of the well pump and pressure tank, assessment of additional well on the property, etc.

A well recovery test involves pumping water out of a well and then giving it time to recharge. This can help you determine how much water you can draw from the well. A well should be able to pump 14 L/min (3.6gpm) for 120 minutes or 450 L/person/day (119 gallons/person/day).

We can also assist you with the retrieval of your Water Well Record. A well record will generally include: location of the well, date of well drilling, depth and diameter of well, static water level, pumping water level, recommended pumping rate and the recommended pump setting.

Approximately 25% percent of Canadians, living primarily in rural areas, rely on private wells, cisterns or other sources for their drinking water.  Safety of these water sources are primarily the responsibility of the individual owners and should not be taken lightly. Well water should be tested with the changing of the season; at least 4 times per year.

More fresh water is stored under the earth in aquifers than on the earth’s surface.  An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well.

Metals such as sodium in water can add to your daily sodium intake. Sodium is the most common and economical salt for propelling the ion exchange process in the softening of well water. The exchange of magnesium and calcium for sodium produces a water less harsh for clothes and the skin however, this water is not good for our bodies. Excessive sodium can cause increases in high blood pressure and adversely affect organs such as the heart and kidney. Drink unsoftened water only or substitute your sodium chloride salt for potassium chloride salt; it does exactly the same thing.

E. coli is used as an indicator organism to decide whether water is potable i.e. safe for drinking.  Any amount of E.coli or Coliform bacteria in water is an indication that the water has been contaminated with fecal matter (animal or human waste) and this water should not be consumed.
