Well Abandonment Service

Water wells are often decommissioned due to their inability to provide usable water. Well abandonment involves filling an inactive well with an impermeable substance like concrete, bentonite chips, or neat cement. The procedure typically begins by removing piping, wiring, or pumps from the drilled hole. Following this step, measures must be taken to divert runoff water away from the well, and the well may require disinfection using bleach. Finally, the old well can be filled with the specified materials and securely sealed to prevent future use or potential groundwater risks. Given the intricacy of this process, it is advisable to engage a professional to ensure the proper sealing and abandonment of any water well.

Low Water Pressure Issues?

The initial step in resolving inadequate water pressure is troubleshooting. Several potential causes can lead to a drop in pressure, including:



  • Obstructions: A drain, or faucet aerator clog could be the culprit. Blockages hinder the free flow of water, resulting in low pressure. If you observe that the low pressure is localized to a specific fixture, it may be due to a blocked aerator, which is a mesh screen designed to prevent debris from entering.
  • Water Leaks: Have you noticed an increase in water consumption? A water leak could be causing a decline in your plumbing system's pressure. As more water escapes through the leak, less water reaches your fixtures and plumbing, lowering pressure.
  • Frozen Pipes: It is commonly misunderstood that pipes burst solely due to expanding ice. In reality, the excess pressure caused by the ice is the more common reason. If you experience a sudden drop in pressure after an extremely cold night, it is crucial to seek immediate professional assistance.
  • Improper Installation: It is essential to have large appliances like water heaters and dishwashers installed by professionals for a reason. If you observe a decrease in water pressure following the installation of a new fixture or appliance in your home, it could be due to a poor connection causing the issue.
  • Water Main Problem: If the decrease in water pressure is not originating from within your home, it is likely related to the main water line. For residences directly connected to the city's water supply, any damage or issue affecting the water mains can directly impact your water pressure.

Our Well Disinfection Process

Performing well disinfection can be a time-consuming task. While it is technically possible to undertake this process on your own, it is highly recommended to enlist the services of a reputable professional due to the handling of large quantities of chlorine and the impact on your family's water supply. The general steps involved are as follows:



  • Access the well and carefully pour the specified amount of chlorine to coat the well walls as much as possible.
  • Connect a hose to an outdoor faucet and position it over the well, turning on the water supply at full pressure.
  •  Run the water until you can detect the presence of chlorine in your faucets. This may take 30 minutes to a few hours.
  • Extra precautions should be taken in homes with electric water heaters by turning on a few hot water faucets.
  • Ensure thorough disinfection of all appliances, faucets, and showerheads by running them on a lukewarm setting for 10–15 minutes.
  • Flushing the well can be challenging as it involves determining safe chlorine levels and directing chlorinated water to an area that won't harm animals, waterways, or groundwater.
