This comprehensive course for home inspectors deals with water sampling, using a multi-pronged approach. Areas of discussion include well design and operation, sources and types of contamination, things the inspector should look for, water sampling methodologies, holding times, water filtration, treatment, protocols, health effects, and more! An absolute must-have for home inspectors who draw water samples for testing. A must have for inspectors examining properties where wells are present. The course module concludes with a certifying exam. Learn to add this ancillary inspection to your list of services you offer.Water quality is a major health concern. Contaminated private well water accounted for approximately 26% of drinking water-related illnesses that made people sick in the year 2000. The EPA's rules that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. This is why it is so very important to have a qualified individual perform on-site assessments and water sample collection.An on-site assessment is a visual survey of the property and of any condition that may affect a private well. The survey may include observations of surrounding properties, locations of abandoned wells, septic tanks, buried tanks, and/or several other factors. Physical examination of the well and related equipment is also important, along with an understanding of how wells work, types of wells, classification of equipment, and contaminants.Hiring a Board Certified Well Sampler is an excellent way to help ensure that the professional inspector you hired has the training and education you need. A Certified Well Sampler is specifically trained in wells and well operations, including factors that affect water quality. The Certified Well Sampler is trained in site assessment, and sample collection methodologies. The Certified Well Sampler is trained in the area of safe drinking water standards, and can help guide the homeowner through the myriad of confusing tests that can be run.
