Well Flow & Yield Testing
Professional Well Flow & Yield Tests
Accurate answers for buyers, sellers, and rural homeowners, from licensed well technicians.
Whether you hear it called a flow test, pump test, recovery test, or yield test, the goal is the same: verifying the quality and quantity of your well’s potable water.
If you’re buying or selling a rural property in Eastern Ontario, a proper well test from a licensed technician is just as important as a home inspection. You deserve clear, accurate answers, not guesswork.
How We Test
State-of-the-art diagnostics for your well and equipment.
At AskWill, we don’t guess or “eyeball it.” We use professional-grade equipment to accurately measure your well’s true yield and water quality. We are fully licensed and insured well contractors, and pride ourselves on delivering expert service.
- Measure how much water your well can produce over time
- Track the drawdown (how far the water level drops) during pumping
- Monitor the recovery rate (how quickly the well refills) once pumping stops
- Note any unusual behaviour in pressure or flow that could point to underlying issues
During a flow and yield test, we:
But we don’t stop at the water itself.
Every flow test includes a comprehensive equipment inspection. While we are testing the well’s recovery rate, we also:
- Inspect your pump for proper performance and signs of strain
- Check your pressure tank for correct sizing, pressure settings, and condition
- Review visible piping, fittings, and controls for leaks, corrosion, or safety concerns
Thorough Testing
Flow tests take 2 to 3 hours to do correctly. Rushing this work can lead to misleading results, so we allow enough time to:
- Run the well at an appropriate rate
- Observe how the system behaves over the full test
- Confirm that what we’re seeing is consistent and reliable

Complete Documentation
When the testing is finished, we generate a comprehensive, official report that includes:
- The test conditions (pump rate, duration, equipment notes)
- The well’s measured yield and recovery characteristics
- Any concerns or recommendations based on what we observed
You can use this report for your real estate transaction, financing requirements, or your own long-term records as a homeowner.
On-Site Explanations
We don’t just hand you a confusing printout and drive away.
We take the time to sit down with you on-site, whether you’re the buyer, seller, or representing a client, and walk through the results in plain language:
- What the numbers mean for everyday use (showers, laundry, irrigation, etc.)
- Whether the system is appropriately sized for the home
- Any risks, limitations, or upgrades you should be aware of
By the time we’re done, you’ll know exactly what your well can do and what that means for your family or your property sale.
