Unlike municipal water supply systems, water wells provide a consistent supply of water straight from the ground beneath you without monthly bills or the risk of a malfunction or damage from someone else’s wrongdoing hindering your access to water. These wells can be installed on all kinds of different properties, both residential and commercial. Here at Barefoot’s Well Drilling and Pump Service, we are frequently asked questions about water wells and their functionality. Here are three of the most common questions we get and their answers.
- How do wells work? In the most basic sense, water wells pull water from the ground up to the surface for you to use. Modern wells are much more complicated than those from the past, and innovations have allowed wells to connect to a property’s plumbing system to supply the property with clean water.
- Where do wells need to be installed? Each well installation job is different, and in order to determine where the well should be installed on your property, our well drilling contractor will take a look at the area and determine where the best placement would be. Factors that go into water well placement include surrounding natural features, any structures nearby, and state regulations dictating how far a well needs to be from other surroundings.
- What does well maintenance look like? Eventually, all water wells need professional repair and maintenance services as part of their upkeep. What well maintenance looks like for you will depend on what issues your well is facing and how they are affecting your water supply. We recommend having your well looked at annually to check for signs of damage or malfunctions.
