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
