Don't Forget that Well Inspection

There are many homes on the market today that get their drinking water from private wells.  It is important when buying a home to make certain that the water in the well is safe for you and your family to drink.  There are some health risks that come into play from well water which is why it is critical to have the well inspected to make certain it is not only up to standards, but safe and capable of providing safe drinking water for your family.

At From the Ground Up Inspections, our trained and highly skilled inspectors are committed and dedicated to providing all our Murfreesboro clients, old and new, with top of the line, effective and efficient inspection services.  Since private wells are not subject to EPA standards, it is important that consumers in the market to buy a home with a well contract a home inspector to perform a thorough well inspection and determine if it is properly protected and maintained and equipped to provide only safe drinking water.

Varied Types of Wells
There are basically three different types of private water wells - a dug well, a driven well and a drilled well.  The proper construction of a well and continued maintenance of the well is key to the overall safety of the water supply.  Our highly experienced inspectors when performing our inspection of the water system can provide potential home buyers with information on the overall well construction.  We check to be certain that the well is located so that rainwater will flow away from it since rain water can contract bacteria and other chemicals that are present on the land surface.  We want to be certain that the rain water does not pool near to the well and then seep into it and potentially cause health problems for those drinking the water. 

The Importance of a Thorough Inspection
Many potential homeowners who are not familiar with wells, are not necessarily aware of the value of proper routine maintenance of a well.  Many homeowners tend to forget about the upkeep of their well until all of a sudden an unsuspecting crisis occurs.  At From the Ground Up Inspections we want to make certain that all our clients in the market for a home equipped with a well do not encounter any such problems.  Well repairs can be quite costly, which is why our well inspection is sure to not only provide you with all the insight you need but will potentially save you a great deal of money that may otherwise be required to resolve an unforeseen well issue. 

Our team of experts, having been recognized in the marketplace time and time again for our superior services, are sure to provide you with the peace of mind needed as well as all the important data needed with regard to the overall construction and overall condition of the well.  Typically, homeowners should keep up-to-date records on the maintenance of a well and our inspectors will be certain to obtain these records as an important part of our specialized well inspection.

In addition, we will make certain to inspect for any types of chemicals or other waste bacteria in or near the well water and even for the presence of typical fertilizer or pesticide chemicals as well as waste from any pets or other types of wildlife.

A Rewarding Career as a Home Inspector

At From the Ground Up Inspections, we are proud of our marketplace and industry presence as well as our top of the line, experienced home inspectors. Our highly trained staff fully understands the importance of an efficient and thorough home inspection, especially when you set out to purchase a home, whether as a first time buyer or as a repeat seller or buyer. Many potential buyers and sellers are highly dependent upon the skills and expertise of qualified home inspectors, which is why we here at From the Ground Up Inspections, stand behind all those students and individuals who seek to become certified and licensed home inspectors.

Why Pursue a Career as a Home Inspector?
Pursuing a career as a home inspector is not only rewarding, but benefits both yourself and those in individuals buying or selling a house. The services offered by a home inspector greatly assist homeowners and potential homeowners in their challenging quest to either buy or sell a home. Though individuals who wish to pursue a career in home and property inspection will find that the challenges are many, these same challenges are easy to accomplish if you remain committed and dedicated to the task at hand and again, as mentioned above, are beneficial to many.

Preparing to Become a Home Inspector
There are formal classes, of course, that need to be completed on your venture to become a home inspector. These courses vary from state to state and city to city, but are essential in order to obtain proper licensing and certifications in the field. There is a wide range of excellent inspection courses available today, many of which offer students real life situations which offer a greater understanding of the home and building portfolio as a whole. These very same courses teach individuals how to properly and effectively write inspection reports for clients and acquaint them with all the legal risks that come into play with a profession as a home inspector.

Individuals who have prior experience in the varied trades will find it somewhat easier to pass sections of the home inspection courses that relate to their specific prior trade. However, those individuals without any prior background in any trades, will find it more challenging and every bit interesting and educational at best. As the courses progress, you will find yourself working alongside other inspection companies that will help you to become familiar with all aspects of the industry as well as the many different scenarios you may very well be presented with in your role as a home inspector. This apprenticeship serves to be invaluable to every student and will contribute greatly to your overall learning experience.

Are you suited for a Career as a Home Inspector?
A home inspector’s job consists of a great deal of technical training. Though a rather technical career, it is also a people job to say the least. Having a pleasant, friendly yet professional personality and the ability to interact and connect with your clients will certainly contribute to your overall success in the industry. Though technical training is essential, more times than not, communication skills and the ability to develop comfortable relationships with clients, old and new, plays a significant role in your success as a home inspector. Many times, homeowners are unable to comprehend what is required of a home inspection as well as the results that are delivered. Being able to talk on their level and explain things in such a way that your clients can fully understand and feel comfortable, is an important element of the industry and every bit as important as your technical and book training.
