Well Inspections in Hemet
Wells in Hemet face unique challenges due to San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills) and local conditions. A thorough inspection identifies problems before they become emergencies.
What We Inspect in Hemet Wells
Well Casing & Construction
- Casing integrity: Check for cracks, corrosion, or damage (critical in San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills))
- Well seal: Ensure sanitary seal is intact (prevents surface contamination)
- Depth verification: Confirm well depth matches records (Hemet wells typically 150-600ft)
- Screen condition: Check for sand infiltration (common in San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills))
Pump System
- Pump performance: Flow rate test (should be 10-30 GPM (valley), 3-10 GPM (hills))
- Motor condition: Amp draw, voltage, running temperature
- Pump depth: Verify setting is appropriate for Hemet water table
- Drop pipe: Check for leaks, corrosion, or age-related failure
Pressure & Storage
- Pressure tank: Check pre-charge, waterlogging, bladder condition
- Pressure switch: Test cut-in/cut-out settings
- Storage tanks: Inspect condition if applicable (common in Julian, Anza for low-yield wells)
Water Quality
- Visual inspection: Check for sediment, rust, odor
- Testing: Bacteria, hardness, TDS, specific contaminants (very hard water (15-25 grains), high TDS)
- Flow rate: Measure actual GPM vs. expected (10-30 GPM (valley), 3-10 GPM (hills))
Hemet-Specific Inspection Focus
Because Hemet wells are in San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills), we pay special attention to:
- Extreme hard water scale, aging well infrastructure, declining water tables, TDS over 1000 in some areas
- Geological factors: San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills) can cause specific wear patterns
- Water quality: very hard water (15-25 grains), high TDS
When to Get a Hemet Well Inspection
- Real estate transactions: Required for buying/selling homes in Florida Ave corridor, East Hemet, Diamond Valley, Winchester, Sage
- Annual maintenance: Recommended for all Hemet wells
- After problems: Following pump failure, contamination, or major repairs
- Pre-winter: Especially for high-elevation Hemet areas (elevation: 1,600ft)
- Drought assessment: Check well capacity during low water table periods

Why Hemet Wells Need Regular Inspections
Large retirement community. Many older wells from original ranch properties. Close to SCWS Anza office. Diamond Valley Lake nearby.
These local factors mean Hemet wells are prone to: Extreme hard water scale, aging well infrastructure, declining water tables, TDS over 1000 in some areas. Regular inspections catch these issues early.
