Well Flow Tests

Accurate Well Flow Testing in Pittsfield, MA

The well on your property must meet and keep up with the needs and demands of your family. In fact, lending institutions require wells to meet certain standards before they’ll approve financing for a property. Additionally, part of the home inspection process includes determining if the water well meets the requirements. Before being approved for a mortgage, most lenders require your property’s well to produce three gallons per minute for two hours, or five gallons per minute for four hours.

Reach out to a licensed well contractor at Berkshire Well and Pump Service for reliable assistance. We have more than 60 years of experience performing well flow tests in the Pittsfield, MA area. Our licensed and insured team can give you more insight than regular inspectors can.

Our process involves:

• Sealing the well head
• Determining starting well static (depth to water from ground level)
• Flow testing (at desired flow rate)
• Collecting bacteria samples
• Measuring amperage on the pump system
• Visually inspecting the pressure tank and tank tee fittings (to check if it's waterlogged or rusted)
• Checking if system is running correctly and pressurizing the lines
• Measuring ending static after the flow test
• Properly re-sealing well cap (or replacing it with a sanitary sealed top)

Our team will run a hose and meter to calculate the amount of water your well pumped rather than estimating. After we have the number, we’ll send you a copy. Call Berkshire Well and Pump Service today to get started or request an estimate via our online form.
