# A Shasta County well-service proposal checklist

A no-water symptom does not establish that the pump needs replacement. Compare diagnosis, proposed equipment, access and records, while keeping water-quality testing separate.

[Download the one-page quote worksheet (PDF)](https://shastawellhelp.com/quote-worksheet.pdf) Free to print and share. Record the details and compare two proposals.

## Gather these five details

- Property ZIP and actual locality within Redding or Shasta County
- Water symptom, when it began and any recent changes
- Available well log, pump, tank and service records
- Known well location, driveway access and gate restrictions
- Diagnostic or replacement preference and household access constraints

## Public resources for your property

Give the actual property locality, not only a Redding mailing address. Shasta County provides well-program information; existing records help describe the system but do not establish its current condition or water safety.

- [Shasta County well program](https://www.shastacounty.gov/environmental-health/page/wells) 

Use county information to gather well records and discuss work that affects the well. Pump repair and drinking-water testing are separate questions.

- [California contractor license check](https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/checklicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx) 

Match the contractor business and relevant license information to the written proposal.

## Five questions for the written proposal

Open a topic for the question to ask and what to compare.

### Diagnosis

**Ask:** What assessment and findings are included?

Ask what supports repair or replacement rather than assuming the failed component.

### Equipment

**Ask:** Which exact pump, tank or controls are proposed?

Record equipment and the existing system information used in selection.

### Related work

**Ask:** Are wiring, pipe and other system items included?

Keep exclusions and further-work approval visible beside the price.

### Access and charges

**Ask:** What travel and lifting or access charges apply?

A remote property or difficult well access can change the visit scope.

### Handover

**Ask:** What completed-work and warranty records are supplied?

Keep mechanical records and separately arranged water-test results.

Preparation only. Do not open electrical controls or pressurized well equipment to complete this checklist. Local sources are independent of this website.

## Describe your project

No water, low pressure or frequent cycling? Describe the symptom and gather the system records.
