Just took a well inspection class. It was very informative. When I download everything I got I will begin to post. Suffice it to say any realtors that have someone interested in purchasing a home that usese well water in the house should highly recommend a well inspection. Some of the information I got from this class I had no idea about. and there are some frightening pictures of how wells become contaminated. I will try to post a few charts on what can be found and the things that need to be corrected to fix them. Just be aware that this can become a very serious issue. A quick example is if the well is within 1 mile of a gas station currently in operation but also and more importantly not in operation when the tanks are removed if they have been removed the EPA requires a set of smapling wells be dug in specific areas so that they can be tested for water contamination by petreleum byproducts for many years after. Think about this a moment. 1 MILE from a gas station and they test the ground water for years to come. Just some food for thought.
