FAQ
Check Your Breaker BoxYour well pump may have stopped working due to lack of power. Sometimes resetting a breaker or replacing a fuse affected by a power surge or brownout can fix this. If the well pump circuit breaker has tripped, the well pump itself may be failing.
PVC and Poly pipe will hold up very well in harsh water conditions. When it comes to installation, Galvanized and PVC pipe are simple, predictable, easy to install, and easy to service. PVC pipe is also lightweight.
Wells get drilled as far down as 1,000 feet into the rock to access the water.Water travels through this casing via a well pump. The well system gets capped off above ground. The water then enters your home from a pipe connected between the casing and a pressure tank (generally located in your home's basement).
Whenever it is warm out, there is a chance of your private well running dry. Most wells flow without problem through warmer months, but in areas of drought and a low level of groundwater there is a chance for them to run dry. Read on to learn about the signs of a dry well and what can be done to fix one.
Wells get drilled as far down as 1,000 feet into the rock to access the water. Pipe casing gets installed into the hole, and a concrete or clay sealant surrounds it to protect against contaminants. Water travels through this casing via a well pump. The well system gets capped off above ground.
If you dig a hole into the ground that ends above the water table, most of the water at this depth is stuck to bits of soil and rock, so that little water empties out into your hole.A "well" is simply a hole dug deep enough that it penetrates below the water table and therefore fills up with water.
Possible solutions include lowering the water pump, deepening the well and drilling a new one. While most pumps are placed well below the surface of the water, there is a good possibility your pump can be lowered even further down to ensure it remains beneath the water level during the summers.
To tap groundwater, a well must be dug deeper than the groundwater level. The groundwater then seeps through the pores of the surrounding soil or porous rock into the well until the level of water in the well is the same as the level of the groundwater.
The average lifespan of a well is 30-50 years, although they can last longer or shorter depending on different circumstances. If the well you are buying is over 20 years old, you should at least factor in replacing the parts that commonly fail into your home buying budget.
