  • Has your old steel or galvanized water well casing failed? What do I do if my well water is dirty? Are you experiencing sediment issues in your well?
    Meet the water well liner or typically referred to as a water well packer. Here we describe and show what they are, how they work, the problems they can fix such as sediment issues or a rotted well casing. They can also be used in combination with a screen to still keep water flowing into your well, but through a filter pack so it is CLEAN!.

    So if the casing of a well is failing and is extremely old wouldn't installing that Well Liner knock a bunch of sediment in as it's being installed??? Just to clear up the question further I'll explain my own situation because my well casing is so old I literally poked at a rust hole and it broke all the way through to where i heard the piece that broke free drop into the well. And as a follow up question if a well casing is so old that it's just a shell basically wouldn't the whole casing itself need to be removed so the well can be recased??? I'm only asking trying to gather as much information as possible before i make any decisions on what to do.

    How do you keep the 4 inch pipe from falling into the well? How do you attach the 4 inch liner to the 6 inch casing? and how do you install the pitiless adapter?

    • @laker3
      @laker3 2 роки тому

      He explains all your questions in the video. The packer stops the 4 inch pipe from falling down. Also at the top of the well you attach the 4 inch to the 6 inch with bolts or screws.

    The seal is 1 or 2 feet long and is pushed to pass the drive shoe ,that is not bad , the bad thing is that you have to pull up your well pump , i have a well pump put in at 2017 15 gal minutes just what i need it imagine me pulling up this pump seating at 480' deep with a water head of 475' on top , i had to use a half inch rope with chrome strand in it ,
    Where i come from we relied on well water 90 % to seal the surface water from entering the well and stop erosion from happening that mostly is from surface water from around the casing , we had to pore a 6"x 6'x6' cement shape it like a funnel upside down around the casing and installed a rubber flange tightly fit at bottom of pipe to keep water away and did a good job , keep in mined if you are going to drink this water , should be no septic no lech-field no garden within the 100' that is a law in NYS.

    • @WendellLeeWellServices
      @WendellLeeWellServices  5 років тому +1

      Yes the rain has been awful. IF it isn't filing a ditch in, it is good for burying a drill rig. We normally try to dig a ditch and cover it in the same day if we can. With the way this winter has gone, some jobs have just had to wait

    I have a small residential property. My contractor installed, my first submersible pump and first well casing 14 months ago. Everything was perfect until 2 weeks ago not one drop of water! My contractor, who installed this new system, told me he can't put in a new wire and must excavate my yard a second time and charge me $1,400.00. Is this normal? To excavate again? If he can't put a new wire through his own well casing system should that be my fiscal responsibility? Last year I asked me, while he was installing the system, if I had to excavate in the future. He said no. A well casing makes it easy to put in new wire without chopping-up the yard again. Help!

    I had a packer installed due to surface water entering around 90 feet. Normal water is at 104 feet. Well is 20 years old. Cased to 160 feet and drilled to 354 feet. The plan was to install the packer around 170 feet just below well casing. But PVC Pipe and packer became so heavy we couldn't keep it from wanting to keep going down. So the contractor thought to pull pipe and packer back up to remove some weight. Only pulled about a foot when it broke off about 40 feet from surface and seems too be stuck there. My fear is that the packer and pipe will eventually fall clear to bottom of well and ruin/break the submersed pump. Any thoughts on how to secure pipe and packer? Have you ever used Sodium Bentonite Chips between new PVC liner and old well casing? The well water is clearing up but still has a sour kraut smell. We determined the root cause of contaminated ground water is that the ground water was bringing silage runoff into the well causing discoloration and a strong odor especially when we had any amount of rainfall. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Why would the packer end up below the casing?

  • @charllesalcocer3215
    @charllesalcocer3215 Рік тому

    Had a leak at casing below pump above ground. They replaced a part was inside casing to this they lifted pipe liner up 3 feet and got stuck. The install new part and put back pump. Now the pump is having problem holding pressure and sand is coming up when it was not before. Which clogging up filter in softener which lead no water to house but the water at pump water speeket. Question by pulling line pipe 3 feet and getting stuck cause the sand to enter the casing and loose water pressure. If it did would solution be to remove line pipe and clean out casing of sand and introduce again line pipe down below the 3 feet that pull from. They are suggesting to replaced tank instead of cleaning sand in casing and getting unstuck the liner pipe what do you think ?

    How do you know when to replace pump? If your well is buried do you have to bring it above grade? I ask this because my pump is 10 years old and should i replace it. it does work fine but i am worried about in dying in winter.

    Hey Guys! I bought a house with a 500+ well with 6" PVC casing. It has recently collapsed closing off at 100-foot level. The water which was at 40 foot, has disappeared. There is fracking ongoing nearby. The well is 50 years old. It had been abandoned for years. I was trying to reactivate. What can i do? Is it likely that 400 foot of sediment fell in or do I have a plug?? Help! Thank you!
