Well Rehabillitation / Remediation
Waterwells, when properly drilled, installed and commissioned, can provide many years of reliable service to their owners, delivering thousands of gallons of water to the owner's property.
However, due to external influences such as iron bacteria fouling and deposition of minerals within water bearing fractures, waterwells may, over time, require some work on them to return them to their full efficiency.
Well screens and filter packs can also clog and inhibit the ingress of water. Like all systems involving moving parts and filters, it is important to carry out regular servicing and maintenance of these installations to maintain their full functionality and extend their lifecycle. Where a system has been poorly maintained or has been exposed to excessive external influences, the water from the well can become turbid which can increase treatment costs, and lead to the well yielding less water. This can increase drawdown, raising the pumping costs against a higher head and could eventually lead to the failure of the submersible pump.
In addition, wells that have been unused for a period of time may also need cleaning before being put back into use.
Good maintenance and regular servicing will help avoid these problems, but should you discover you do have a problem with your waterwell, the remediation team at Drilcorp have vast experience in diagnosing well problems and delivering cost-effective solutions to maintain your well's efficiency and lifespan.
There are various methods of rehabilitating a well, but before adopting a solution expert analysis of the problem is necessary. It may be that the well may need scrubbing, treating with chemicals, acidising or treating with gas injection, all methods that are used on a regular basis by the Drilcorp team.
If you have a well that is not producing the volume of water that it used to, is becoming increasingly expensive to run or if you have an old well on your property that you would like to bring into service, Drilcorp will be happy to quote for carrying out the work.
Once we have your enquiry, a member of our team will visit the site to gather as much information as possible about the construction of the well.
We will CCTV the well to assess the current status of any sludge build up, encrustation, collapse or corrosion of casings. This can sometimes be done before removal of the pump with our miniature CCTV.
Drilcorp will then report our findings to you together with our proposed remedy.
Should you wish to proceed, we will handle all pumping equipment removal, refurbishment and, where necessary, replacement and reinstallation.
Our experience in remediation works is unrivalled and our service is second-to-none as well as representing great value for money.
If you think your well needs a new lease of life, contact us on 0191 527 3970 and we will be delighted to take your call.
