Due to ground conditions, your private well might not draw enough water to keep your household running smoothly. That’s why you should invest in hydrofracking. Technicians pump high-pressure water into bedrock surrounding the well, creating fractures that can filter more water to the installation. Here’s a more detailed explanation of how the process works and its associated benefits.

What the Well Hydrofracking Process Entails

To start, a well drilling contractor removes the pump, pipes, and wiring to prevent damage. Next, they drop a balloon-like rubber sleeve, known as a packer, into the well. After the packer is inflated, water is pumped into the portion of the well below it. As the packer seals off the area, the incoming water causes pressure to rise. The liquid seeps out of the well and presses against the bedrock surrounding it. When water pressure begins to drop, technicians know the rock formations are starting to crack, and water is seeping inside. After hydrofracking, they reattach the pump, pipes, and wires to the well.

Benefits of Hydrofracking

The process also increases the yield of an under-performing well, so your family won’t have to go through the expense of sourcing water from the local municipality. As the high-pressure water breaks apart mineralization in the bedrock, it creates more fissures to direct water into the well, which could reduce the risk of future droughts.
