If you've been considering investing in water well maintenance for your property, well drilling professionals can help you. Check out these six reasons to have your water well maintained regularly.

1. Extend the Water Pump Lifespan

After well drilling, the pump is the next important aspect of water well maintenance. The water pump is an integral part of the well mechanism, and ensuring it's in mint condition enables it to last longer. Regular pump maintenance prevents damage and overheating. Water leaks, clogged minerals, low water levels, and sediments are all factors that directly affect your wells' status and water quality.

2. Prolong the Water Well Lifespan

According to GreenRisks, the average life expectancy of a water well is between 30 and 50 years, depending on factors such as the quality of construction, maintenance and upkeep, age, size, water demand, and environmental factors. Regular well maintenance prolongs the lifespan of a well and creates an opportunity for deeper well drilling and better management of water usage. It alleviates poor water quality, low yields, residue, and water discoloration.

3. Control Damage and Prevent Contamination

A regular well inspection helps in identifying problematic areas and prevents irreversible damage. It allows you to implement corrective measures such as dealing with erosion in the vicinity and handling clogs, water-softening solutions, and collapsed components while at the same time dealing with pollutants that compromise your water quality.

4. Ensure the Provision of Clean and Safe Water

Regular yearly well maintenance and periodic lab water testing can guarantee water safety, especially if the well water is used for drinking. It creates an opportunity to test for minerals, water pH, dissolved solids, and microscopic contaminant organisms such as E.coli and coliform.

5. Monitor and Ensure Adequate Water Flow

Regular well maintenance helps in ensuring consistent water flow. One can easily detect wells with the potential of drying up in the future, and subsequently implement mitigation measures, especially in drought-prone areas.

6. Establish Baselines for Future Maintenance Procedures

An annual water well maintenance highlights issues such as mineral content, pH levels, and well depth. These baseline figures serve as a reference point and help water well professionals to detect deviations from the norm and avert potential problems. Timely and correct intervention is possible through regular well maintenance.
