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
- Reason to replace. What did the assessment establish, and was repair considered?
An observed water problem is not, on its own, proof that the pump needs replacement.
- Equipment. Which make and model are proposed, and why do they suit this system?
Equipment selection belongs to the qualified provider assessing the actual well.
- Included work. Does the price cover only the pump or other system components too?
Ask for removal, installation, access arrangements and exclusions to be stated separately.
- Changes and timing. What can change the price, and how will extra work be approved?
Confirm service interruption and timing with the provider before authorizing work.
- Follow-up. What equipment record, warranty and testing are included?
Mechanical work does not establish water safety; discuss any water-quality concern separately.
Start with Buncombe County well records
For a property in Buncombe County, the county's Environmental Health page links to well and septic records and a search guide. An Asheville mailing address alone does not establish the property's county or a provider's coverage.
- Buncombe County well and septic records
Open the Well & Septic Records section and use its search instructions. Save a matching record for the contractor; if the property is in another county, ask that county's Environmental Health office instead.
