If the home you're buying has a private well, the water is your responsibility from day one. We evaluate the well's flow rate, pressure, recovery, wellhead condition, pump cycle, pressure tank, and visible plumbing.
We strongly recommend pairing a well inspection with bacteria/nitrate water testing.
What's included
- Flow rate & pressure under load
- Recovery time after draw-down
- Wellhead, casing & cap evaluation
- Pressure tank function
- Bundles with water quality testing
Common questions about well inspection
Is well inspection worth the cost?
For most Mankato-area buyers, yes. The cost is small relative to what a missed issue could cost after closing.
How long does well inspection take?
Varies by scope — most service-specific add-ons take 20–60 minutes on top of the home inspection. We bundle them into one visit.
Do you bundle well inspection with a home inspection?
Yes — bundling saves $50–$100 vs. booking separately and means one report and one bill.
Where do you offer this service?
Mankato and a 50+ mile radius across Southern Minnesota — see our service area page for a full list of cities.
How fast do I get the report?
Same day for most inspections. Always within 24 hours.
