The Importance of
Regular Well Inspections

Wells are complex systems that require regular maintenance and inspections to function properly. Over time, wells can develop problems such as mechanical failures, contamination, and structural issues. Regular inspections help detect these problems early, allowing for timely interventions that prevent more significant and costly issues down the line. Moreover, regular well inspections ensure your water remains safe and clean, protecting the health of you and your family.

Our Well Inspection Process

At John Cameron & Son Well Drilling Inc., we follow a detailed and systematic approach to well inspections, ensuring no aspect of your well system is overlooked:


1. Visual Inspection
Our inspection process begins with a thorough visual assessment of the wellhead and surrounding area. We check for:

  • Structural Integrity: Ensuring the well casing and cap are in good condition and securely in place.

  • Surface Contaminants: Identifying any potential sources of contamination near the well, such as standing water, chemicals, or debris.

  • Proper Sealing: Verifying that the well is properly sealed to prevent surface water infiltration.

2. Mechanical Inspection
We then move on to inspecting the mechanical components of your well system, including:

  • Pumps and Motors: Checking for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. We also test the pump's performance to ensure it operates efficiently.

  • Pressure Tank: Inspecting the pressure tank for leaks, proper pressure settings, and overall condition.

  • Electrical Connections: Ensuring all electrical connections are secure and functioning correctly to prevent potential hazards.

3. Water Quality Testing
Water quality is a critical aspect of well maintenance. Our inspection includes comprehensive water testing to detect any contaminants that could affect your health or the well's performance. We test for:

  • Bacteria: Including coliform bacteria and E. coli, which can indicate contamination.

  • Minerals and Chemicals: Such as iron, manganese, nitrates, and other harmful substances.

  • pH Levels: Ensuring the water's acidity or alkalinity is within safe limits.

4. Detailed Reporting
After completing the inspection, we provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings. This report includes:

  • Condition Assessment: A summary of the well's current condition and any potential issues identified during the inspection.

  • Recommendations: Practical advice and actionable steps for addressing any problems and maintaining your well system.

  • Maintenance Schedule: A suggested maintenance schedule to keep your well in optimal condition and prevent future issues.
