how many of you would bid a well system without a pumpdown test?
i guess that i'm the last to look at this and nobody's done one yet.
proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.
Personally I wouldn't...
I charge $125.00 - $195.00 for the test (cheap but it doesn't usually take me three hours) refundable if I get the work. If I don't get the work, they get the written results.
I never rely on somebody elses #'s. It's a formula for dissaster.
If they don't want to spend the money up front for a proper evaluation, include disclaimers in the contract, I can't warranty work in the absence of performance data. Anything over 250.00, I write a contract.
