Some Terms To Note:

Well Abandonment

An “abandoned well” is a water well, or borehole, that is no longer in use, unable to produce useable water, or unable to be used because of poor maintenance or significant wear and tear. Wells are “temporarily abandoned” if they remain unused for a minimum of 365 days, or “permanently abandoned” if use is interrupted for more than three years.

Well Inspections

We offer testing for Coliform bacteria, E. Coli Bacteria, Nitrate and Nitrite water sampling as part of our well inspection. Lead sampling is also available for an additional charge. If you have a new or old home, drain field, drain bed, trench, drywell or seepage pit, Well Doctor performs the most thorough inspection available.

Well Tanks

The pressure tank in your home is the unit that stores water under pressure allowing the pump proper run time for cooling purposes. A failed pressure tank is the main cause of a well pump failing prematurely. We install the highest quality Well-X-Trol professional series tanks which offer an industry leading 7 year warranty, at an extremely competitive price point.

Water Lines

Water line installation is the process by which a trench is dug from a well to a building to allow the water to flow. Most water line material is a poly plastic. Copper water line would be the premium material. Copper would be the longest lasting and is less likely to leak from punctures or breaks caused by shifting soils.

Chlorination

Well Chlorination is needed when either iron bacteria and/or mineral buildup has occurred. Chemicals are introduced to the well to reduce odor and mineral buildup. The effect is minimal and short term. Well Chlorination is not a permanent solution and the source of the problem will resurface.

Iron Bacteria

1. The breakup and removal of the bacterial build up and conjoining insoluble particles
2. Cleaning the well screen, if one has been installed
3. Pump and neighboring well spring area to lower the remaining bacteria. It is almost impossible to completely remove all bacteria. The bacterial populations will increase with time and either additional remediation events will be necessary or regularly scheduled maintenance disinfection’s will be required. The two most common methods to remediate iron bacteria is through the use of acids and oxidizers.
