In real estate, even the smallest detail can affect whether a closing goes through on time—or at all. One of the most overlooked yet critical factors? Water quality and well performance.
Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or realtor, a failed water test or a malfunctioning well system can stall negotiations, lower property value, or cause deals to fall apart. That’s why having a trusted partner with thousands of successful closings under their belt makes all the difference.
At Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment, we specialize in well inspections and water testing designed to protect every stakeholder in the transaction.
Why Well Inspections and Water Testing Are Critical
Protecting Buyers
For buyers, water is more than just a utility—it’s a necessity. A professional well inspection ensures:
- Safe, clean drinking water free of bacteria, nitrates, and contaminants.
- A reliable well system with adequate flow rates and pressure to meet household demand.
- Confidence that pumps, tanks, and controls are in working order, avoiding surprise repair costs.
Protecting Sellers
Sellers benefit from proactive inspections and testing by:
- Identifying potential issues before listing.
- Minimizing the risk of last-minute negotiations or failed contracts.
- Preserving property value through transparent water quality assurance.
Protecting Realtors
Realtors partnering with experts in water quality enjoy:
- Smoother, faster closings with fewer obstacles.
- Enhanced credibility with clients.
- Lower risk of losing deals due to water-related complications.
What’s Included in a Professional Well Inspection
A comprehensive well inspection goes beyond a basic water test. At Dierolf, our licensed inspectors assess every part of the system to ensure safe, reliable operation:
- Water Flow & Pressure Testing – Confirms the well can support daily usage.
- Pump & Tank Evaluation – Checks condition, age, and functionality.
- Electrical & Safety Review – Verifies code compliance and operational safety.
- Water Quality Testing – Screens for bacteria, nitrates, and other lender-required contaminants.
Many real estate transactions—especially those involving government-backed loans—have strict water testing standards:
- FHA Loans: Require testing for bacteria, nitrates, nitrites, and lead in private wells (FHA guidance).
- VA Loans: Demand unbiased third-party testing, following EPA or state guidelines (VA well test requirements).
- PA DEP: Recommends annual well testing and outlines private well water standards (PA DEP well testing guidance).
And here’s where expertise really matters—choosing the right water treatment company. Many homeowners don’t realize that not all providers have the licensing or training to handle real estate transactions correctly. Our article, How to Choose the Right Water Treatment Company – What Most Homeowners Miss, explains why credentials like licensed well inspectors are essential when so much is on the line.
At the same time, it’s important to be wary of shortcuts. Many sellers are tempted to rely on inexpensive DIY water test kits to “check the box.” But as we explain in Why DIY Water Test Kits Can Do More Harm Than Good, those kits often produce misleading results and can create a dangerous false sense of security—putting closings and client trust at risk.
