More Well Drilling FAQ

What is a surface seal?
It protects the well against possible surface contamination. Surface seals are usually made from bentonite or bentonite slurry.

What is a well screen? Do I need one?
Screens are used primarily in wells with sands or gravel, and hold back or filter the formation, while at the same time allowing water to move freely through without sediment. Whether one is required is dependent on the well drilling formation and its tendency to pump sand or grit.

How often should I have my water tested?
It's recommended you have a well testing done every year or two.

Why do I have green and brown stains in my shower and toilet?
The green stains are from acidic water. This is corrected usually by a filter system. The brown stains are the result of elevated iron of manganese, and can be fixed with the installation of a proper filter.

I think my well is going dry.
There is no one simple answer to this question, so you should contact your local well drilling contractor. You might be able to deepen the existing well, install a reservoir tank system or drill a new well.
