Well Rehabilitation

If your well has provided reliable service for years but is now experiencing issues, Essential Water Works can help restore its performance.

Depending on the underlying cause of the problem, various techniques can be employed to improve or resolve the issue. In many cases, it may be possible to rehabilitate an existing well and restore water flow, potentially avoiding the need for a costly new well. Rehabilitation methods may include:

  • Well Redevelopment

  • Well Cleaning

  • Liner Installation

  • Packer Installation

  • Removal of Bacteria Biofilm or Mineral Deposits

At Essential Water Works, we will diagnose the issue and provide an honest, thorough assessment of the rehabilitation options required to get your well functioning optimally once again.
