Understanding Well Rehabilitation

Well rehabilitation is the process of restoring a well’s capacity and water quality to its optimal levels. It involves a series of steps to remove obstructions and address any issues that may be hindering the well’s performance. Our team uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to thoroughly inspect, diagnose, and treat any problems within your well system.

Inspection and Diagnosis

The first step in well rehabilitation is a thorough inspection. Our skilled technicians use specialized tools and equipment to examine the interior of your well. This includes video inspections to visually identify any blockages, cracks, or damage within the well casing. By accurately diagnosing the issue, we can tailor our rehabilitation approach to effectively address the root cause of reduced water flow.

Removing Mineral Buildup

One of the most common causes of reduced well performance is mineral buildup. Over time, minerals such as calcium, iron, and manganese can accumulate on the well casing, screen, and pump, restricting water flow. Our well rehabilitation process involves treating the well with specific solutions that dissolve these mineral deposits. This not only enhances water flow but also improves the overall quality of your water.

Sediment and Scale Removal

Sediment and scale can also accumulate in your well over time, leading to blockages and reduced efficiency. We employ high-pressure air blasting techniques to remove these obstructions. This process involves removing the pumping equipment and using high-pressure air to blow out sediment and debris from the well. This deep cleaning method is highly effective in restoring the well’s original capacity and ensuring smooth water flow.

Well Disinfection

Bacteria and other microorganisms can also impact the performance and safety of your well. As part of our rehabilitation services, we offer chlorination treatments to disinfect the well. This process eliminates harmful bacteria, ensuring that your water is safe for consumption and use.

Pump and
Equipment Maintenance

In addition to treating the well itself, we also inspect and service the pumping equipment. This includes cleaning, repairing, or replacing pumps and other components to ensure optimal performance. Regular maintenance of your well equipment is crucial for preventing future issues and extending the life of your well system.

Preventative Measures

Once your well has been rehabilitated, we provide recommendations and services to maintain its performance. This includes regular inspections, water testing, and maintenance plans tailored to your specific needs. By taking proactive steps, you can prevent future problems and ensure a continuous, reliable water supply.
