The safety of your water is extremely important! That is why we include WELLCHECK Water Testing with every new residential water well that we drill. This extensive ISO 17025 Certified Water Testing provides a detailed laboratory report on your water quality.
After the well is drilled, a steel or PVC casing pipe is inserted into the borehole. This casing lines the well to prevent the walls from collapsing and protects the water supply from surface contaminants. It is centered and set just above the water-bearing aquifer. It is then sealed at the top with a well cap to prevent debris and animals from entering.
A well screen will be attached to the bottom of the casing inside the aquifer zone. The screen acts as a filter, allowing sand, sediment, and other particles to pass while preventing water from flowing into the well. The screen’s material and slot size are based on your aquifer’s specific characteristics for the best results.
The annular space is the vacant space between the casing and the drilled hole wall. To seal the well, it is filled with grout, typically cement or bentonite. This prevents surface water or contaminants from entering the water supply along the casing and is essential for maintaining water safety.
To improve water flow and clarity, we will use air and water jets to remove fine sediments and drilling debris from the water-bearing zone. This cleaning process clears the area around the screen and casing, preparing the well for use.
A submersible pump is lowered into the well and submerged below the water level. Above ground, a pressure tank and pressure switch are installed to regulate water pressure and control pump operation. Pitless adapters and check valves are installed to connect the well to your plumbing system on a case-by-case basis.
The entire system undergoes thorough testing to confirm proper pump performance and consistent water pressure. Water samples are collected and analyzed to meet safety standards. The Amber Water Pros includes a free WELLCHECK 30-point water test for all new well installations. Any necessary adjustments or troubleshooting are completed before the project is finalized.
