Well Inspections
Know What You Have Before You Count on It
A private well is a major asset — and a major unknown if no one has documented its condition lately. A well inspection focuses on what we can see and safely evaluate at the site: how the well is finished at the ground surface, whether the cap and vent protect against contamination, how piping and wiring leave the casing, and how the pump and pressure components behave under normal use.
Klutz Well Drilling performs inspections for homeowners, buyers, and sellers across North Manchester and surrounding Indiana communities. We write in plain language so you can make decisions about repairs, testing, and negotiations with facts in hand.
Schedule an Inspection
When to Schedule a Well Inspection
- You are buying a home with a private well and want condition documented before closing
- You are selling and prefer a professional summary for buyers or their inspector
- The well has not been looked at in years and you want a baseline before problems appear
- You are refinancing, insuring the property, or your lender asked for well documentation
- Something changed — new construction nearby, flooding, or odd pressure — and you want a check
Why Get a Professional Inspection?
A Trained Eye on Your Well
We inspect the well head, cap, vent, pitless or above-grade outlet, and accessible surface plumbing for problems that are easy to miss if you are not around wells every day.
Confidence at Closing
Buying or selling a home with a private well is easier when condition and risks are documented. We help you understand what you are inheriting — or what to disclose — before the sale is final.
Sanitary and Code Concerns
Gaps at the casing, improper caps, missing vents, and damaged conduit can let contaminants in. We flag items that affect safety and compliance so they can be corrected.
Prioritized Next Steps
Not every finding is urgent. We separate what should be fixed before you rely on the well from what can wait — and point you to repair, chlorination, testing, or treatment when needed.
What to Expect
Schedule and Access
We coordinate a time to visit the property and confirm we can reach the well head, pump controls, and pressure equipment without guesswork.
Inspect and Observe
We review the visible well construction, piping, electrical at the casing, and basic pump and pressure tank behavior during a normal demand cycle where practical.
Document Findings
You receive a clear summary of what we saw, what looked sound, and what needs attention — suitable to share with your agent, lender, or attorney when applicable.
Recommend Follow-Up
If lab testing, well chlorination, repair, or treatment is advisable, we explain why and in what order — without pushing work you do not need.
Service Area
We serve North Manchester, Wabash, Warsaw, Huntington, Columbia City, Fort Wayne, and the surrounding Indiana communities.
