How to mark the scope
- Included
- Explicitly included in writing.
- Excluded
- Explicitly excluded in writing.
- Not stated
- Missing or uncertain. Ask before assuming.
- Not applicable
- Confirmed as unnecessary for this project.
Different answers can explain different prices. A complete set of marks does not establish workmanship, licensing, diagnosis or suitability. Confirm the scope and the actual property conditions with the provider.
Five questions for these proposals
- Assessment. What will the diagnostic visit cover?
Record observations before deciding that the pump must be replaced.
- Callout terms. What are the diagnostic, travel and after-hours charges?
Ask which charges apply even if you do not proceed with a repair.
- Repair decision. What findings support repair or replacement?
Ask the provider to distinguish confirmed findings from items still needing assessment.
- Proposed equipment. Which pump, tank or other components are included?
Compare the specified equipment and installation work, not a pump price alone.
- Records. What completed-work and warranty documents will I receive?
Keep mechanical work separate from any water-quality testing request.
Find the record for your Spokane County well
A well record can help identify the existing construction. It cannot tell you why today's water supply failed or prove that the water is safe.
- Washington State Well Report Viewer
Use the map or text search, compare the location with your property, and save a matching report for the provider. Ecology warns that reported well locations may not be exact; mark an uncertain match as unconfirmed.
- Washington L&I contractor verification
Check the business and the credentials relevant to the proposed work. The tool provides registration and licensing information; a listing does not confirm service availability or a diagnosis.
