1. Start with the property
The searched address is geocoded to a map coordinate and jurisdiction.
2. Retrieve supported public records
Check My Well queries or indexes supported provincial/territorial well sources and gathers records within the selected radius.
3. Rank by distance
Nearby records are sorted by mapped distance from the searched coordinate. The closest record is labelled as the nearest mapped well, not automatically the property’s well.
4. Summarize the local pattern
Where enough numeric data exists, the report calculates medians and middle ranges for recorded depths and other compatible fields. Missing or ambiguous historical fields are not silently converted.
5. Preserve uncertainty
Old records can contain approximate locations, inconsistent field formats or missing values. The interface shows source context and avoids site-specific groundwater guarantees.
6. Separate records from current condition
A historical well record is not a current inspection, flow test or water-quality test. Those require current property-specific work.
Check the property first
Run the free address lookup, then request local help from the property report if you need a contractor.

Check My Well summarizes public records and general information for informational and due-diligence purposes. Nearby records do not guarantee a property’s well depth, yield, water quality, condition or future drilling result. Verify material decisions against original records, current laboratory testing and qualified local professionals.
