Most of the time, we don’t think about our water. But, water is incredibly important–we use it every day.
Have you asked any of these questions lately?
- “Why does my well water smell?”
- “Why is my well water yellow or brown?”
- “Why is there sand in my well water?
If you have, you’re not alone. These are common situations. Over time, water wells can accumulate sediment and minerals and have issues that affect both water quality and flow. When this happens, it may be time for an inspection and professional well cleanout. C&J is here to help.
What happens during a well cleanout?
What happens during a well cleanout?Well cleanouts can get tricky without the right equipment and training, so they’re best left to the experts. A well cleanout is a professional removal of sediment and other debris that has built up inside the well. Cleanouts also include a check for problems with the water supply. At C&J, we have a detailed process to help ensure every part of your well is cleaned properly.
- We can perform a comprehensive 6pt-inspection to identify the issue(s).
- We remove the pump and other components. By removing the pump, pipe, wire, and pitless adapter, we have everything out where we can inspect it.
- We use a high-capacity air compressor to blow out all the collected sediment and debris.
- Restoration of clean and free-flowing water to your home.
This process keeps your old well functioning properly and potentially improves water flow and quality.
Why should you clean your well?
Your well is like any other part of your home—it needs maintenance to function properly. If your water smells metallic or rotten, or your faucets spit out discolored water, these are red flags.
Here’s why cleanouts matter:
- Removes sediment, iron, and mineral buildup
- Improves water quality and pressure
- Keeps your pump from overworking
- Helps prevent expensive repairs down the road
How often should you clean your well?
Most homeowners should schedule a well cleaning every 10 years, but if you experience a lot of sand or sediment, your water has continual quality issues, or you use a geothermal or irrigation system—you may need service more frequently.
Note: While cleanouts remove debris, they don’t eliminate dissolved minerals that cause hard water. You may still need a softener, a bacteria solution, and better drinking water. We have the perfect treatment bundle for wells.
