Hydrofracturing is the process of flushing particles and mineral deposits from fractures in the bedrock to increase water flow to your well. It also creates new fractures in the bedrock.  It clears and widens the ones that already exist. Whether your new water well isn’t producing enough or an older well has suddenly decreased production, hydrofracturing offers several benefits.

3 Reasons to Choose Hydrofracturing for Your Water Well

1. Spend Less Money

Many people wonder whether they’d be better off deepening the existing water well or drilling a new one altogether. Unfortunately, those are both costly and typically do not increase the flow of water into the well. Hydrofracturing is a cost-effective way to increase yield without additional well deepening or drilling.

2. Increase Water Well Yield

The hydrofracturing process forcefully pumps up to 2,000 gallons of water into the bedrock to widen the existing fractures. By making them wider, it makes it easier for water to flow through them and into your well. This process significantly increases the water well yields, so you have more than enough water for your household.

3. Flush Out Mineral Deposits

Mineral deposits are especially problematic in older wells. They build up and clog the existing fractures, making it difficult for water to flow freely through them. The highly pressurized process of hydrofracturing flushes out those deposits, leaving a clear path for water to flow once more.
