Water Well Inspections & Diagnostic Services
At Advanced Water Pump Services, we provide expert well inspections and diagnostics for homebuyers, realtors, landowners, and anyone who needs to understand the condition of a water well system. Whether you’re purchasing property, experiencing system issues, or just want peace of mind, we have the tools and expertise to give you real answers.
Standard Well Inspection
Our comprehensive well inspection includes everything needed to evaluate the performance and safety of an existing water well:
- 1.5-hour flow test to assess output
- Measurement of gallons per minute (GPM)
- Bacteria testing
- Nitrate testing
- Electrical testing of the pump (amps and resistance)
- A detailed written report with system photos
This inspection gives a clear picture of well performance, water quality, and pump function — great for home purchases, annual maintenance, or troubleshooting issues.
Holding Tank & Booster Pump System Add-On
If your system includes a storage tank and booster pump, we can include an additional inspection and written report for these components. This ensures the entire system is evaluated, not just the well itself.
Generator Power (Optional)
In cases where the site has no power or the service panel is not accessible, we can bring a generator to power the well pump for testing.
Well Sounding (Standing Water Level Check)
Our well sounding service measures the standing water level in your well and gives a general sense of the recharge rate. This is especially helpful for homebuyers looking to understand how the well performs under drawdown.
Downhole Camera Inspections
We offer submersible camera inspections to visually inspect the inside of your well. This is one of the most thorough ways to gather real, physical data on your well’s structure and integrity.
Camera inspections can help identify:
- Cracked or deteriorating casing
- Roots infiltrating the well
- Sediment buildup or obstructions
- Casing depth and overall condition
This service adds confidence for buyers, sellers, and property owners by providing direct visual confirmation of what’s going on inside the well.
Service Calls
If you’re experiencing issues or aren’t sure where to start, we offer a basic service call to assess your system. This covers on-site troubleshooting and system evaluation. In some cases, if the system is in good working order and we can proceed with an inspection, the service call may be waived.
Pump Retrieval
Sometimes pumps fall into wells due to accidents, fire damage, broken pipes, or other unexpected events. We offer pump retrieval services, with labor charged at an hourly rate. Time needed depends on a number of factors — depth, condition of the well, and how the pump is lodged — but we bring the tools and experience needed to get the job done.
New Pump Systems & General Well Service
In addition to inspections, we also install and service:
- Submersible and jet pumps
- Pressure tanks
- Booster pump systems
- Holding tanks
- Control boxes, float switches, and more
If it’s part of a water well system, chances are we’ve worked on it.
