When should a water well flow test be performed?

Flow testing is commonly recommended for newly drilled wells, property purchases, development projects, and situations where there are concerns about a well's ability to supply enough water.

Can contaminants be detected without testing?

Not always. Many contaminants are colourless, odourless, and tasteless, making them impossible to identify without professional testing and analysis.

Why is water testing important when buying a property?

Testing can help verify the quality and capacity of the property's water supply, giving buyers valuable information about the condition and performance of the well before completing the purchase.

What can affect the quality of well water?

Water quality can be influenced by naturally occurring minerals, groundwater conditions, nearby agricultural activity, household chemicals, surface water infiltration, and other environmental factors.

Q: How often should well water be tested?

The frequency of testing can vary depending on your water source and property. Regular water quality testing can help identify potential contaminants early and provide peace of mind that your water remains safe for everyday use.

If your property relies on a well, understanding both the quality and quantity of your water supply is essential. Water quality issues can affect the safety of your drinking water, while poor well performance can impact your ability to meet everyday household, agricultural, or commercial water demands.

At Value Contracting, we provide water quality testing and water well flow testing services throughout the Okanagan and surrounding areas. With more than 50 years of experience, our team helps homeowners, businesses, agricultural operations, and property buyers better understand the performance and condition of their wells.

Water Quality Testing

Clean, safe drinking water starts with proper testing. Many contaminants found in groundwater are colourless, odourless, and tasteless, making them difficult to detect without professional analysis. These contaminants can originate from naturally occurring minerals, rainwater and snowmelt filtering through soil and rock formations, agricultural fertilizers and pesticides, household chemicals, or improper waste disposal practices.

At Value Contracting, we help property owners assess the quality of their water through professional testing services. Regular water quality testing can help identify potential concerns and provide peace of mind that your water supply is suitable for everyday use.

Water Well Flow Testing

Water well flow testing measures how much water your well can produce and whether it can consistently meet your property's water demands. This information is valuable for homeowners, agricultural operations, businesses, and developers who depend on a reliable water supply.

Flow testing is commonly performed on newly drilled wells, during property sales, and before development projects to help verify the capacity of a water source. Understanding a well's production rate can help determine whether it is capable of supporting current and future water needs.

Our team can perform flow testing for a wide range of applications, from wells producing as little as ½ gallon per minute to systems capable of producing up to 500 gallons per minute. The results can provide valuable information for planning, purchasing, development, and ongoing water system management.
