I have an old well on my property, what do I do?
- All unused wells must be properly abandoned. State law requires
that the unused wells must be closed according to specific regulations. Failure to follow these measures can result
in pollution of our drinking water, danger to children falling in, and fines from the state and county officials.
What is Hydro-Fracking?
•
Hydro-Fracturing or "Fracking" is the process of using high pressure water to
break away any obstruction, which may improve water yields. The process is
repeated several times by depressurizing the packer and lowering it to a new
position in the well.
Why do you sometimes use a camera?
• We sometimes can use a Down-Hole Camera to view
the inside of a well. This
allows us to inspect and find
problems inside the well.
How much does it cost to drill a well?
- The cost varies, depending on your location and ease of access.
How much does it cost to install a pump into a well?
- The cost of a pump installed is dependent on the depth of the well as well as the yield of your well. One of
our qualified technicians can help offer you a base price.
Can
a well be drilled deeper?
- Yes, provided that our rig can get back to the
well.
