I inspected a home with the well in the basement. The 18" clay tile casing ending 3’ above the floor. The only cap was a heavily rusted steel plate that rested unfastened on top of the tile. The supply pipe had a slot cut for it with no seal. Does this need to have a secured cover and pitless adapter? When I removed the plate the water surface appeared brackish. I recomended the buyer have a purity test performed but he said no!


Any sugestions on the course of action I should persue?

I can’t tell from your post what the water source is being used for in the home. You brought up two possible concerns. 1. Well Safety 2. H2O Quality. I guess you could always make a phone call to the local health department and report it…maybe you could even report it anonymously after a few weeks have passed and note your concerns.

Ralph,


I'd say your work is done. As long as you documented well in the report, there is nothing more you can do unfortunately. 

The buyer may be thinking on doing a quality test on his own instead of paying you to do one.

my 2 pennies worth...
