A homeowner in Great Falls, VA, contacted Monticello Well Pump Services after discovering a critical issue with their private well. Surface water was infiltrating the well system due to a structural hole in the side of the steel casing. This contamination posed a significant health risk, as untreated runoff can introduce bacteria, sediment, and pollutants into a family's drinking water. The client needed an immediate solution to restore the integrity of their well and ensure the safety of their home's water supply.
Our well water technicians arrived promptly after the initial discussion with the homeowner to address the breach. The process began with excavating three feet around the well to expose the damaged section. We precision-cut the old steel casing below the point of failure and welded a high-quality new coupling to the existing structure.
This allowed us to weld a new extension of steel casing, bringing the well head 15 inches above ground level, a standard that prevents future surface water entry. To complete the restoration, we installed a secure new well cap and performed a thorough chlorination treatment to disinfect the entire system, eliminating any bacteria introduced by the breach.
In just four hours, Monticello Well Pump Services successfully sealed the well and eliminated the threat of contamination. The Great Falls homeowners now have peace of mind knowing their well is structurally sound, properly vented, and protected by a professional-grade seal. By raising the casing and disinfecting the water, we ensured long-term reliability and health for the household’s well and drinking water quality.
