When it comes to well drilling and well deepening, there are plenty of options and specialized techniques that professional well contractors can utilize. One popular method is called hydrofracturing. The experienced well contractors and pump repair crew at Dalmik Well Drilling in Putnam, Connecticut, are hydrofracturing pros.

Here are the basics on hydrofracturing from Dalmik Well Drilling:

• What Is Hydrofracturing? Hydrofracturing is an advanced well development process that can be performed by professional well contractors. The process involves using highly pressurized water to push through bedrock formations to an existing well.
• Why Choose Hydrofracturing? The purpose of hydrofracturing is to increase both the size and the extent of your well. With additional bedrock fracturing, you’ll have a larger interconnected network of water-bearing ground. Water will then flow into your well at a faster rate.
• What Does The Process Entail? Hydrofracturing starts by installing an inflatable packer above your existing well. This is a delicate process that must take place 40 to 60 feet below ground to ensure that surface water or outside contaminants don’t enter your well. Once the packer is inflated and locked into position, water is injected at a rate of anywhere from 500 to 2,000 pounds per square inch. The water pressure must be increased depending on how tightly packed the bedrock is surrounding your well. Depending on your well, water will need to be pumped for up to 30 minutes. The pressure inside the well will rise as the bedrock resists and then suddenly drop off once it is successfully fractured.
