Our Maintenance Services
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your water well performing at its best. We offer a wide range of services designed to improve water quality, extend system life, and prevent costly issues:

A vital step in disinfecting your well, chlorination eliminates harmful bacteria and improves water safety.

We restore older or underperforming wells by removing blockages, mineral buildup, and sediment that restrict flow.

Damaged or cracked casings can lead to contamination. We repair and reinforce casings to protect your water source.

Pressure Conditioning
We fine-tune your system to ensure constant water pressure, improving performance and comfort.

Well Cleaning & Flushing
Deep cleaning removes debris, iron, and other contaminants that affect water quality and flow.

Well Modifications & Upgrades
As your property’s needs evolve, your well system may need to be modified or upgraded. We offer expert solutions to improve performance, meet new regulations, and adapt to changing water demands:
-
Well Extensions
Raising the well casing helps prevent surface contamination and ensures compliance with updated standards.
-
System Upgrades
We modernize your setup with advanced components like pressure tanks, controls, and energy-efficient pumps.

Pump System Conversions
Whether switching from jet to submersible or upgrading to a VFD system, we tailor your pump system for better reliability and efficiency.
Well Decommissioning
When a well is no longer in use, proper decommissioning is fundamental to prevent accidents, protect groundwater and ensure compliance. Abandoned wells can pose serious risks if not sealed correctly. Our licensed team follows Ministry of Environment protocols to:
-
Safely remove all equipment and materials from the well.
-
Seal the well using approved techniques and materials to prevent contamination.
-
Ensure full compliance with provincial regulations and environmental standards.
Whether you're decommissioning a residential or commercial well, we handle the process with care, precision, and responsibility.
