Your Choice for Water Well Drilling and Water Pressure System Installation

Types of Water Wells 

Dug or bored well (tile well)

Grouting and Well Seal

• Prevents contaminants to enter the aquifer
• Ontario regulations minimum of 3M (~10ft) of sealing material (i.e.: Grout) and minimum size of the borehole diameter 5cm greater than the casing
• Grouting material:
  • Sodium bentonite
  • Concrete
  • Cement grout
• Extend well casing minimum of ~16’’-18’’ and slope ground away from wellhead
• Vented, Vermin-proof well cap (cover) installed

After water runs chlorine free, return all equipment to service position (water softeners, well cover, etc.).

Well Upgrades

• Older wells were not finished above ground level and often were finished in a pit constructed below the frost line or buried
• Risk of contamination!
• We can fix this problem by extending the casing above ground as per regulation 
• The installation of a pit-less adapter will then also make it easier to access your pump and lines for service
