The water will be run for 30 minutes from several faucets simultaneously to determine the approximate flow rate of the interior plumbing. You will receive a report summarizing his observations. If the flow rate at interior faucets is less than 3 gallons per minute, we recommend that a licensed well expert analyze the system to determine the problem and cure. b) Inspection by a licensed well expert A well expert performs a visual inspection of the well head and equipment. If you are applying for a conventional loan/mortgage, the water needs to be run from the well head for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. When there is a request for a FHA well certification, the water needs to be run for 4 to 5 hours continuously to determine the well yield and the recovery rate. You will receive a report summarizing the well expert's observations. If there are any problems, the report will include their cost to cure.

He also inserts dye into a stool. This process is called "stress test." You will receive a report with the inspector's observations and recommendations. Note: For this type of inspection the septic tank or cesspool is not opened. Being a visual inspection only, it does not provide an in-depth analysis of the condition of the system. b) Inspection by a licensed private waste disposal expert  During this inspection a licensed private waste disposal expert opens the septic tank/cesspool and observes the waste level inside and the interior tank conditions. Following that, the system is pumped. The inspector then performs a walkover inspection of the yard where the drainage field is likely located. You will receive a report detailing the condition of the system. If the system is damaged or failed, the report also includes the cost to repair or replace.
