Water Well Rehabilitation
Over time, wells can experience reduced efficiency and water quality due to mineral buildup, sediment accumulation, or biofilm growth. These issues can cause lower water production, pump damage, and increased maintenance costs. Well rehabilitation restores your well to peak performance, extends its lifespan, and ensures a reliable water supply.
Western Hydro Engineering offers a comprehensive, multi-step rehabilitation process designed to address every aspect of well performance—from stubborn deposits to accumulated debris—so your well can operate efficiently and effectively for years to come.
Brushing & Bailing
Our team performs thorough mechanical cleaning using bailing and brushing techniques to remove sand, silt, gravel, and other accumulated debris from the bottom and sides of your well. Bailing removes loose material that can clog pumps or reduce water flow, while brushing scrubs the casing and screens to dislodge stubborn deposits and biofilm that build up over time.
This process is especially effective for wells that experience heavy sedimentation or partially clogged screens, ensuring that water can flow freely and efficiently. Regular bailing and brushing prevents future operational issues, reduces wear on pumps, and prepares the well for any additional treatments, such as chemical rehabilitation or hydro cleaning.
By combining precision tools and experienced technicians, we restore the structural and functional integrity of your well, maximizing production and prolonging its lifespan.
Chemical Wash
When wells develop stubborn scale, mineral deposits, or bacterial buildup that mechanical methods cannot fully remove, our chemical rehabilitation treatments safely break down the deposits and restore water flow and quality. Each chemical treatment is tailored to the well’s construction and water chemistry, ensuring effective results without damaging the casing, screens, or pump.
Chemical rehab is ideal for restoring wells that have experienced long-term buildup or poor water production. Combined with bailing, brushing, and hydro washing, it provides a complete, multi-step approach to well restoration, ensuring your well reaches its maximum potential in both performance and longevity.
High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
Using our pressure washer capable of 29 GPM at 15,000 PSI, we blast away mineral scale, debris, and biofilm that remain after chemical and mechanical cleaning. Hydro Jetting rejuvenates the well’s intake surfaces, restoring optimal flow and efficiency.
This method is particularly effective for wells with heavy buildup and ensures that all loosened material is fully removed. By completing the rehabilitation process with high-pressure hydro jetting, we maximize your well’s performance and longevity, leaving it ready for reliable operation.
Test Pumping
During the test pumping phase, we evaluate your well’s performance by measuring drawdown and conducting specialized tests, including step rate, constant rate, and slug tests. These tests provide critical data on the well’s capacity, hydraulic properties, and aquifer response, allowing us to confirm that the rehabilitation has fully restored efficiency.
By performing these evaluations, we ensure your well is operating optimally and ready for long-term, reliable water production.
