Common Rehabilitation Methods for Water Wells

Vib-Clean is a process that uses special detonating cords that loosen materials inside and outside of the well bore. After the process is complete, it is necessary to perform further rehabilitation work to insure all water producing formations have been reconsolidated within the water well.

After many years of research, we have developed a Tandem Swab. This was designed and built in our facility, using our expertise in the well rehabilitation industry. The tandem swab allows for a turbulent flow of pumped water to pass around the swabs, causing a high velocity of water passing through the gravel and filter pack, cleaning and re-consolidating the pack. The flow configuration is not the same as normally pumped water wells, since the isolated tandem design concentrates the action in specific areas. This method cleans the screen openings, the outer borehole, and removes fine silts and plugged formations.

There are several methods involved in repairing water wells, and we take the proper steps to ensure that each is done with meticulous detail. We repair all casing, perform a hydraulic swedge (done in a stainless steel liner over the ruptured casing), and install an inside liner to cover the longest area when the existing casing has deteriorated. When it comes to repairing water wells, no one does it better than Groundwater Pump & Well.
