Tips for Maintaining Your Water Well
Want to keep your water running smoothly? When you practice proper water well care and maintenance, your chances of needing costly well repairs, parts replacement or well pump service in Charlotte NC are reduced. Here are some helpful tips for maintaining your private water well:

Be observant: The key to keeping your water supply in great shape is to always observe. Conduct regular visual inspections of your well, looking for leaks, rust or damage to the well cap, and also listen for unusual sounds when the well pump is on. Stay vigilant of the signs that point to a possible problem with your well.
Leave service to the professionals: As the homeowner, it’s your duty to be observant of your well’s condition, but leave all service needs to the professionals. It’s not uncommon for well owners to try and fix an issue that seems small, only to make it worse. Call a professional first! He or she will be knowledgeable and trained, and will carry specialized equipment and materials to properly service water wells.
Schedule regular inspections: You probably don’t have the tools to conduct thorough maintenance inspections, which is why it’s recommended you hire a professional to perform regular inspections for you. They will inspect the entire system—including the seals, the casing, the water pump and other vital components—as well as address any concerns you may have. If you notice a maintenance concern anytime, schedule an inspection immediately.
Keep the system clean: There are some telltale signs that your well water is contaminated or the well is clogged with debris, such as cloudy household water and an unexpected drop in water pressure. If indicators of dirty water are already present, then your best bet is to schedule a professional water well cleaning. This will better ensure a safe supply of drinking water and that the well system is performing as it should.
Keep maintenance records: Regardless of whether you did some easy maintenance or you used a water well service provider, make sure to keep detailed well maintenance records. When it comes to build reports, annual system maintenance, water testing results or your observations, record it all.
