Wells need regular care to keep your water at peak quality. For water well maintenance, you should rely on well service experts. There are a few things you can do, however, to ensure your water is always healthy and great-tasting. Below, Action Drilling LLC in Wheatland, MO, provides five tips for keeping your well water safe.

Tips for Water Well Maintenance

1. Clear the Area

Clear your well of leaves, snow, and other debris, and ensure no fertilizers or chemicals are used or stored nearby. This prevents outside substances from seeping into your system and contaminating your water supply.

2. Notices Changes

If you observe any changes in the smell or taste of your water, call for water well services. Taking preventive measures before problems get too big helps you avoid costly repairs. Being aware of any changes to your system also keeps your household safe from anything harmful in your supply.

3. Enlist Professional Help

If you notice issues with your system, do not try to service it on your own. Always call your water well maintenance team to test your system and ensure each component is functioning properly. They will also test the water quality to make sure no toxins or bacteria are present. Your contractor can also explain what is happening with your system, so you understand preventive measures for the future.

4. Research Your Service

Always hire licensed, certified, and insured repair companies. Make sure their knowledge is up-to-date, and they have the right training to handle any issues. Ask if they provide documentation for your records. Research past customers and ask for references. Also, inspect their equipment, making sure it seems maintained and clean.

5. Inspect Old Wells

Investigate if there are any unused wells on your property. These should be sealed by a professional. Unsealed wells can cause problems in your current system by contaminating your aquifer or allowing pests to get inside. They are also a safety concern and can be dangerous if anyone falls inside.
