Buying a house with a private well

Use records to understand the history, then verify the current system with inspection and water testing before closing.

Check a property →

Start with the record

Search the property address and nearby public well records. Note completion dates, depths, mapped locations and any missing fields.

Verify the physical system

A public map point does not prove which well serves the home. Match tags, seller documents and the visible wellhead where possible.

Test current water

Historical construction data cannot tell you today's bacteria, nitrate, metals or other water-quality conditions.
