Buying or selling a home with a well
A home with a well needs answers before closing: how much water it makes, whether the water is safe, and what condition the pump is in. We handle all three in one visit.
All three in one visit
Flow test
Gallons per minute, drawdown and recovery, in one report. See what’s in a flow test.
Water test
Oregon requires the seller of a home with a well to test for arsenic, nitrate and total coliform bacteria. We collect the sample for the lab. Read what the law requires.
Equipment inspection
Every flow test includes an equipment inspection. It’s its own check, with its own report. Plus pump amps, voltage, and the estimated yearly cost to run (add once the meter is in use). See what we inspect.
We handle the state paperwork too
Oregon law makes the seller send the lab results and the RET form to the Oregon Health Authority within 90 days. Most never do: OHA has told the Legislature that fewer than 1 in 4 results reach it (2017 testimony). For an added fee, we look up the well record, fill out the form, file it with the results, and send you and your client a copy for your records. One less thing on your closing checklist.
Home Sale Package: 2- or 4-hour flow test with equipment inspection, the home sale water test, and the RET filing, in one order.
Did the lab results or the equipment inspection find a problem?
We can treat the water or repair the system, so the sale keeps moving. See water treatment, or contact us to speak to one of our experts about your system needs.
