Old Well Rehabilitation
- chemical treatment of all types of wells
- redeveloping of existing drilled wells to bring back
or increase the flow rate of the water
- replacement of old well casing and installation of liners
if required
Well Head Upgrades
Most water well pressure systems
have the water line connection below ground surface at the
well casing. Today's standard is the use of a pitless adapter,
yet many older connections remain in existence using a large
diameter open working chamber of steel or concrete. As these
types of installations age they have the potential to allow
surface contamination and insects to enter the well. It is
encouraged to have this type of installation converted over
to a pitless adapter.
Pump Tests
A test may be required when:
- obtaining a loan or mortgage using your property
as collateral
- expanding your business or firm
- purchase of a property with a well
|
Flow tests can be performed on
all types of wells. Although most wells should have a flow
rate recorded at the time of construction it may still be
in the best interest of the purchaser to have an updated test
done. Age of the well itself and new construction in the area
can both alter the flow rate of a well.
Chlorination of Wells & Pressure Systems
A poor water sample does not necessarily
mean your source of ground water has gone bad. Bacteria could
have been introduced through improper maintenance, from lack
of use, or flood waters. During a chlorination process it
is recommended to try and determine the cause so contamination
will not happen again.
Proper introduction and concentration of the chlorine are
both important to insure all bacteria are reached in the system. |
