We recommend pressure testing all bores prior to purchase, to help you to assess the condition of the bore and bore security. This can be an important step to help you to understand the quality of your water supply and whether contamination could occur.
Pressure uses a USA made inflatable packer on a custom mandrill. This inflates into the bore sealing it and in combination with a sealed wellhead pressure is then introduced into the bore to check for casing leaks. If it does not hold pressure then there is a leak in the casing. This depth is recorded and checked with the camera for signs of a visual leak.
