4 Signs a Water Well Is Drying Up
A private well can provide a dependable supply of clean water to your home for everyday tasks, such as cooking and cleaning. However, if you have a water well on your property, you must know how to identify certain problems to ensure you remain healthy and safe. For example, a well that's drying up can cause a variety of issues, so be on the lookout for the common symptoms below.
How to Tell Your Well Is Drying Up
1. Low Water Pressure
If water from your faucet runs weak or takes a while to reach the correct pressure, ask a contractor to inspect the filter and pressure tank and well pump. If these components are in good condition, your well might be running low on water. In this case, Hydro fracking may be an option. Or drilling deeper or drilling a new well may be required.
2. Sputtering Faucets
Sputtering faucets typically indicate that air is in your well's plumbing components. If a professional rules out the possibility of faulty valves or leaky pipes, then your groundwater levels are likely low. Hydrofracking will expand the fractures in the bedrock beneath your well to allow more water in, solving this problem.
3. Unusual Smells & Odors
When water levels decrease, more sediment and mineral deposits will collect in your well. This may cause your home's water supply to smell or taste unpleasant. To freshen up your groundwater supply, have a professional check your well to determine the cause.
4. Murky Water
As sediments in your well collect in the water supply, the liquid typically takes on a dark and murky appearance. While this sign is visible, it's also somewhat offputting. Restore clear and clean water to your home by scheduling a professional hydrofracking appointment.
