The Importance of Well Maintenance



If you are a homeowner, we don’t need to tell you that there is never a shortage of projects to complete when it comes to making sure your home looks its best. The living room could use a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen appliances could probably use an update in the next few years (and a thorough cleaning in the near future). The grass needs to be cut and winter leaves and trigs need to be disposed of to keep the yard in tip-top shape. The list truly does go on and on.

But, the busier we are, both with constant home projects and with the daily demands of our personal and professional lives, it’s easy to neglect certain projects. One priority that homeowners often neglect to pay attention to is the state of their home’s well. But proper and frequent well maintenance will guarantee that you are not only allowing your home to operate at its highest possible functionality, but you will also save significant dollars in the long run by avoiding drastic repairs. 

Here are a few vital things to understand when it comes to performing proper well maintenance.

Don’t Do it On Your Own
There are plenty of projects around the house that you probably don’t need to hire a professional to complete. But when it comes to performing proper water well maintenance, this is a task that absolutely MUST be resolved by a qualified specialist. An expert well system contractor will have the specialized equipment, materials, and techniques that are necessary in order to keep your well operating correctly and safely. 

Know What a Check-Up Involves
A proper check-up of your water well includes a flow test (which will determine the output amount and the water level), an equipment inspection to determine proper operation or working order of crucial components such as the pump, the motor, and the pressure tank. 

Know what You Can Do
Although you can’t perform the check-up yourself, there are things you can be doing that will ensure your water well is kept in proper condition. Always keep hazardous chemicals, such as paint and fertilizer, away from your well cover and use caution when cutting the grass or performing landscaping work around the well cover to ensure the casing is in optimal shape.
