Why Old or Unused Wells Are a Safety Concern
Aging or inactive wells often remain open beneath the surface, creating hidden risks. These wells can become direct pathways for contaminants—such as bacteria, chemicals, and runoff—to enter the groundwater. In Central Florida’s mixed sandstone, limestone, and sandy soils, these risks are even greater.
Without professional decommissioning, an unused well may also collapse, damage surrounding soil structure, or create safety hazards for people, pets, and livestock. Common issues caused by abandoned wells include:
- Contamination of aquifers and nearby wells
- Soil erosion and structural instability
- Accidental injuries from hidden or unmarked openings
- Long-term property compliance problems
Proper well abandonment protects both your property and your community’s groundwater. It is a critical step for responsible land management.
What Professional Well Decommissioning Includes
Well decommissioning requires specialized equipment and a clear understanding of groundwater flow, local regulations, and proper sealing techniques. Our process prioritizes safety, compliance, and long-term protection. Professional decommissioning typically involves:
- Locating and assessing the well’s condition
- Removing pumps, pipe, and interior components
- Cleaning the well to remove debris and obstructions
- Filling and sealing the well with approved materials
- Final inspection and documentation for your records
Each well is handled according to its depth, construction, and surrounding soil conditions. Our detailed approach ensures that once a well is sealed, it cannot allow surface contaminants to reach the aquifer.
