Well & Septic Evaluations
Water Testing
Mechanical Well Evaluation
​
A dry or underperforming well can cost between $6,000-$10,000 to replace depending on the style, depth & location.
Have me evaluate your well and I will:
-
Run the well to make sure it is functioning and could keep up with average household demand
-
Verify the system is operating at satisfactory pressure, (if a pressure gauge is present)
-
Report the style of well & pump equipment present at the home
-
(If requested and for a fee) Take whatever water samples you chose and have a MI state certified lab test it. (Bacteria, Nitrate/Nitrates, Aresenic, Iron, Lead, etc)

Functional Septic Evaluation
​
Septic problems are one of the most expensive problems a homeowner can face when owning a home, which can cost many thousands of dollars to fix. This system is critical to the functionality of your home.
With my septic evaluation (also known as a load test) I will:
-
dig down to the tank
-
tell you if the tank is full and needs to be pumped
-
if the outlet baffle is present (this protects your drain field)
-
what kind of tank it is (if ascertainable)
-
if the field is receiving effluent via a flow test
